Reports Report 1037hw (Event 1037-2015)

Observer
Name Alexis D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It looked like a green shooting star - we joked it was a shooting star from Mars. In my little experience with shooting stars over the lake or anywhere this one was either a lot closer because it was definitely larger. I am not exactly sure about the time - that was an estimate that seemed to match up to others sightings. It was my best guess.
