| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lane G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was inside watching tv when I noticed the flash outside, at first I thought it was the lights in my back yard turning on but then realized the light was coming from the sky. It was bright and seemed large, I almost thought it was a fire work, but it was definitely too far away for that. I have seen a greenish blue shooting star/meteor before and it was way brighter than that. |
