Reports Report 1081ah (Event 1081-2013)

| Name | Megan W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw it out of the corner of my eye, but it was bright enough for me to notice it, and just long enough for me to look over and see it as green. It started rather high in the sky and then looked like it was falling into the Hudson River from my perspective, disappearing about 10-15 degrees above the horizon. Not knowing what it was, I actually reported it to the 18th precinct just in case. |
