| Name | Amy W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | In January of 2000 (at around 10 pm on Tuesday or Wednesday after January 22nd--I don't know that day exactly), I saw a green comet from my high up apartment window, but it was much further away and the angle made it appear to do a hook motion in the sky. That was why, after determining that there were no fireworks or drones, that this could be a green comet. I have no other experience. I just look up sometimes. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There were NO sounds associated with this object; however, about 30-40 minutes EARLIER, on the north side of the mall, we heard a big boom that sounded like an old cannon had been fired (no clue what that sound really was. That's another reason I first thought this big green light over us could have been some kind of firework ahead of us. Just below the mall area is scrub brush (that I have never been aware that anyone has ever been in, but it's accessible by all terrain vehicles) and I thought that perhaps a person was setting off a firework in that area. I waited and listened to see more of something like that, but after 10-15 minutes, it was clear there was nothing that followed or preceded the green light visually, and there was No sound associated with it at all. |
