Reports Report 1483dc (Event 1483-2014)

Observer
Name Sherry L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have seen one other large bright light streaking across the sky a few years back which was either a meteor or space debris, That was large and very bright white and quickly disappeared but it did leave a bit of a tail. This latest sighting was much longer and the color was strange and very brilliant green. It was whole and then in split in two parts but continued moving very fast.
