Reports Report 5566am (Event 5566-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Seth K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | There was a green flash or really more of a glow that started above me, I thought maybe it was the northern lights even though I'm too far south so I looked up and it looked like someone shot a flare over my house, or a single roman candle. Green glow, look up, flare directly over my head coming from the east headed west and then it extinguished before it even went over the roof of my neighbors house or out of my sightline. It didn't continue down to the horizon. I'm sorry I'm having a hard time putting it into words. It was AMAZING. |

| Remarks | There was a green flash, I thought maybe the northern lights even though I'm too far south so I looked up and it looked like someone shot a flare directly over my house, or a single roman candle. So there was some SMALL fragmentation but it stayed tight to the trajectory. |
