|---|---|
| Name | Aidan D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | 'Green' doesn't really describe the colour of what I saw, it was intensely fluorescent, a vivid bright electric green like nothing I've ever seen in the sky. I'd so much like to know if anyone else saw it. (Wikipedia tells me it might have been composed of magnesium? Is this correct?) |
