Reports Report 219b (Event 219-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Amberly H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was a very short bright streak and a flash. It seemed to begin and end high in the sky, unlike so-called shooting stars that I've seen, which would appear to disappear near the horizon. It was a light blue/green color and the whole thing lasted just a few seconds. I was driving westbound and it seemed to happen right in front of me, really high up, so I would say it was in the west/northwest from where I was. |
