Reports Report 9c (Event 9-2013)

Observer
Name Susan A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was a dark night with a clear view of the stars and a gibbous moon. The entire sky lit up, like someone turned on a fluorescent light. It had a bright white-green ball with an orange tail, that arced in the sky and as it descended towards us, the tail wiggled back and forth as it fizzled out.
