| Name | Craig P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my backyard at the time of this event, it seemed very close and relatively low on the horizon considering I my view was one of looking over a neighbors roof. I was surprised by the size of it in relation to having no sound, but I figured that there was no way I could judge the distance no matter what my eyes an mind were telling me, it could have been at 30K feet in the air for all I know, but the from the size of the "green burst" I saw, if it were very high up, and far away I imagine the size of it would have been huge. The size of the green burst I saw was a little larger than size of my thumb nail when I hold my arm fully extended in front of me. Note: I have seen this phenomena once before a little closer to Houston about 3 or 4 years ago, but I was driving at that time, and if my memory serves me correctly there was more than one at that time. |
