Reports Report 4239cp (Event 4239-2016)

Observer
Name Lauren L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It appeared to be going straight down - happened quickly - I was driving with my son and told him to look. We both saw it - he caught the end - looked like it was going straight down so we couldn't see it once the trees were in our way even though the treelike was set back quite far. Looked like a faint bright green. Fun to see!
