Reports Report 2539a (Event 2539-2018)

Observer
Name Chevy G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It seemed like a white train right above me and traveling mostly west and at the leading edge it looked green. It reminded me of a green Roman candle but it definitely wasn’t it was way to high and lasted to long. It was starting to get dark out side but high on the western sky wasn’t so it must have been very bright.
