Reports Report 1958bj (Event 1958-2023)

Observer
Name Frank A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This caught me completely by surprise. I'd just been watching the golden-pink full moon rise. Then I saw a flash off to the southeast and then watched the green streak zoom from southeast to northeast.If there were sounds, I couldn't have heard them because I was yelling so loudly about this thrilling sight.
