| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen shooting stars, but nothing like this - it was large, bright, green fringes. Trailing tail. No sound (which surprised me, thought it must have been close for how big it was.) Hard to tell how big, I'm going to guess the size of a large house |
