Reports Report 475b (Event 475-2014)

Observer
Name Randal P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was such a bright green that I thought at first it was a flare or firework - but it travelled too far. Another flare-like character was that it appeared to be close to me - but of course no objective way to tell that. No sound whatsoever.
