Reports Report 2122b (Event 2122-2014)

Observer
Name nathan S
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This object traveled from east to west from just east of overhead about 30 degrees to west over the horizon of mountains and lit up the top of the mountains as it passed over them which I though was odd, it makes me question the actual brightness of the object. Note: it was not exactly directly over head but just south of overhead by a half a fist's width. the length of the tail as it traveled was about two fists width and the entire object and tail was bright green, there was no debris falling off, no sparks or other remarkable thing about it except the size of the object's body which seemed to be a bit smaller than about half the size of a pea at arm's length...As it went over the horizon however, the light from it lingered for about a second or two...which makes me think it traveled out to or past the coast which is only about 50 miles as the bird flies. it's tradjectory seemed to be falling...that is all.
