| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Thomas B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Probably close to the full moon in brightness. Very vibrant green, thought it was a firework at first. Started out slow with thick tail for first 2 seconds or so, then quickly "accelerated" toward the ground. Looked like it might have landed, but I was driving so it may have just gone out of view. |
