| Name | B. X |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Only just found this reporting mechanism. It was several years ago, but it was so remarkable I could not forget. I was on a mountain facing west with a viewable horizon of ~15-18 miles. Was with a group of others who also saw it. The sparkling green tail was incredible. |
