Observation Yes
Remarks When I first saw it, it looked like a really bright shooting star. Then there was a flash of green light. The flash did not travel across the sky at all, but seemed to stay in the same place. After the flash it disappeared for a split second, and then reappeared as a slightly dimmer shooting star.
