| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I took my greyhound Nika out one last time before bed and saw a bright, white light streak across the sky from west to east, high to low in the sky. It turned green, burned super bright and big, and then shifted back to a smaller, white, streaking light before it disappeared. It was so bright that my first thought was that it may have been a malfunctioning firework, but the trajectory (diagonal high to low) just didn't square with that. It was really big (I was waiting to see if I would hear or see it hit the ground--I didn't) and only lasted for 5 seconds at most--and it may have been closer to 3 seconds, and just seemed longer to me. |
