| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Zack D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was driving when this was observed. First thought was a firework that didn't go off and fell directly back towards earth burning green, but this seemed unlikely given where we were. Our next thought was some sort of space debris. It hit the ground on a hill behind some trees, probably in a residential area. |
