Reports Report 2165iw (Event 2165-2014)

Observer
Name Roger M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Four of us saw it from our friend's deck on Saturday night - it looked as if it was a very bright, low flare being shot across the sky. Because it was green we discussed if it could have been a flare, but the angle it came from made it impossible. It fizzled out right in front of us just before it would have hit the ground, and had a few sparkling cinders (orange) right at the end.
