Reports Report 7950f (Event 7950-2023)

Observer
Name Lowell M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving when it came into view from above my field of view, and perhaps overtaking me from behind. It went straight down from zenith almost to horizon, directly in front of me. There was a slightly persistent and moderately intense trail left behind especially over the latter part of its run. It was a very distinct and fairly intense light green color. Very impressive!
