Reports Report 1750aba (Event 1750-2016)

Observer
Name Paul P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Sighting was incredible . I was driving home from work and saw the green flash in the corner of my eye. I slowed down and was amazed by the brightness and speed it was traveling at . I really thought an airplane had blown up or it was a missile/rocket and I had gotten a little nervous . I was extremely happy to find these articles online about the sightings to reassure I wasent just dreaming!
