Reports Report 523a (Event 523-2006)

Observer
Name Douglas P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Was driving with window open, so ability to hear anything was impaired, but this bright luminous green fireball disappeared behind the low hills a few miles in the distance. Was expecting an impact explosion, but there was none, and nothing in the news (which was surprising). I seem to recall a tail, but it did not persist very long.
