Reports Report 5538aho (Event 5538-2017)

Observer
Name Catriona B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving and my partner who was in the car who spotted it first. I'm Not 100% of exact location but I think that was close enough. It was unusually green and big and travelling horizontally. So amazing to witness! He literally just said to me that he saw other reports about it online. I had forgotten about it so I looked you up. Please keep me informed with any updates. Thanks!
