| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this. It was pretty amazing and dramatic. It was more than just a "shooting star" above in the sky. It was a bright green and white falling object with a trail that was significantly larger than any star in the sky. It's hard to quantify its size in the sky, but it appeared to have the size of a very large, glowing trailing firework, or a rocket. |
