| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rita B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My dashcam only picked up one of the objects but there were two, but since I was driving I might have been in the wrong angle for my dashcam. keep an eye on the right hand side of the screen, exact time was 5.42.50 and the first flash was just white but very bright and the second had a clear green colour to it and lit up kinda in front of me to the right. I stopped my car to see if there was more but nothing else happened. i also created a slow-motion video of it but uploaded the real-time one here. |
