Reports Report 464d (Event 464-2011)

Observer
Name Brenda
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks it was brilliantly green surrounded by golden/orange color, moving fast and more than 10 times larger than a falling star. I first noticed it above the redrock area of Sedona and in the 10 seconds I watched I saw no trails and it merely went behind the hills with no further action.
