Reports Report 4112o (Event 4112-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Hussey M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It kind of reminded me of how a 'flare gun' looks shooting up, except it was kind of green/white, moving downward instead of up, and lasted for only about a second. My thought was it looked like maybe a meteor burning up quickly, or maybe a spacecraft part (but it was over very quick for that.) |
