| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | it looked pretty big, and kinda close...almost the size of my thumbnail on the sky. it was shaped like a drop of water, with a visible normal-green "flaming" effect on the outside and a beautiful round neon-green "core". the 2 colors on your site are pretty acurate. didn't have a long tail or anything, just a green "waterdrop". it fell behind a mountain and was followed by 2 consecutive flashes of neon-green light above the mountain crest. we went to look for it next morning but didnt find it. i know its been a while, but me and my friends saw this years ago when camping. found this site and thought i report it. The date is aproximate, i dont remember exactly what day it was |
