Reports Report 5966f (Event 5966-2020)

Observer
Name Shawn Elaine A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was crazy...I was talking to my neighbor who is a nurse at social distancing...I was the one facing the sky at the directions I entered...I saw the bright green ball/star fall from the sky.. I have never seen anything like it before. I have lived in AZ 12 years from IL and I see a lot of shooting/falling stars here, way more than IL and I always feel like like a little kid when I do...like I got a gift from the heavens...tonight I got that gift! Please confirm if you can! :)
