Reports Report 9579lw (Event 9579-2022)

Observer
Name Megan Y
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The ball was green, then had a purple glow to it. The train was pink and the end was white. We were sitting under a covered porch at the time we saw it so the exact direction it came from is not completely clear. But it seemed much lower than even a plane typically flies. It seemed so low we were expecting to hear it hit the ground, but there was no boom or shaking even 10 minutes after it went out of vision.
