| Name | Ben H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was a large meteor like object that was heading close to due West. I was facing due north when I first saw it. I have seen shooting stars, but this was much larger. It started as a white object that I mistook for Starlink, then it turned green and formed a long green tail which covered much of the western half of my view. |
