Observer
Name Sydney M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was such an incredible experience! It looked so bright, close, and large that I initially thought I was seeing a weird firework, until I noticed it was traveling horizontally and not exploding. Please note that the information I provided is to my best guess, but that I was driving so I'm not 100% confident of the time, colors, exact location of the sighting, etc.

Color Purple, Green, Light Green, White I'm not super confident because I was driving on a road with deer, so I also had to pay attention for potential wildlife crossing. But it was definitely multiple colors, and I think it started purple and became green
