| Name | Hale S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Two things you didn't ask about are incredibly important to the uniqueness of the object I observed--it seemed similar in size to the full moon...and I saw no tail. One final subtle aspect: the green color was not steady and even colored...it was roiling. I just knew I was going to hear a sound, but never did. I guess it was moving away from me. Anyway, I have seen plenty of "shooting stars," but this was otherworldly and felt like a once in a lifetime observation. |
