Reports Report 4531nr (Event 4531-2018)

Observer
Name Kim E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was at the tennis courts talking with some friends after a match when a bright green ball appeared in the sky and kind of dropped. It lasted only a couple of seconds. A tree blocked the view of it as it approached the horizon so I didn't get a consistent view of its path. I also didn't have my phone out or a watch so I don't know the exact time it occurred.
