Reports Report 6272a (Event 6272-2020)

Observer
Name Jeremy H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was an impressive display of something entering or atmosphere. What really stude out to me was the brightness and length of green trail this object made and after it passed the horizon there was a large bright white light flash that I assumed was a strike. I can't believe that it wasn't already reported but I also just found this reporting site.. Thanks
