| Name | Joann R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The FB glowed brightly as it passed overhead-- i was standing in a field by the ocean and as to crossed over i watched it travel for about 20-30 seconds and when it moved out of my field of vision (from the sea into the mountains) it caused the sky to glow green---where maybe it hit the ground? Also, it cut a path through the blanket of clouds as it passed overhead, revealing a starry black sky in the path it left behind. It seemed to be at the same height or below the patchy blanket of clouds, with a bright glowing (whitish green) core inside the green glowing ball that seemed to move at the same height and speed as a bi-plane. ( not nearly as high as a shooting star, or a jet plane, or a satellite.) |
