| Name | Marcus E |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was merely taking a brake outside in the crisp air and happened to be looking in that NW direction. The best way I could describe it in appearance is that it presented very much like an inverted firework projectile, only on a significantly larger scale. It was VERY bright, blueish green that increased to bright green with increasing descent. It lasted approximately only 1-2 seconds max, until I lost sight of it at the tree line. There were no smoke trails or sound that followed, that I could detect. However, even though I have no way to gauge the distance, I can only assume it was a lot further than it appeared to the naked eye. |
