Reports Report 1298ta (Event 1298-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Monte L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Extremely bright, wide-thick, brilliant green streak ending with large yellow orange glow. Heading from East to West, possibly South. Traveled at a relatively slow speed, therefore I thought it was possibly a fireworks rocket. The big and bright streak of green against the night sky caught my eye to look outside from my large picture window. I was very excited to accidentally witness whatever this was. |
