Remarks I was watering my plants on the roof and looking up at the sky. I saw the crescent moon to my left, it was really pretty. Then suddenly there was this white streak right under the moon and then it exploded into a bright neon green trail that lasted a few seconds. It was at dusk so the sky was still blue, I can't believe I saw it. There were pink clouds in the horizon below to the right.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It was a white streak sweeping right under the crescent moon and then it exploded into a bright whitish green flaming trail. When I first saw it, it was definitely a white streak across the sky and then it exploded into a thicker almost like comet shape bright green light.
