| Name | Lindsey R |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen anything like it before. I thought it was a firework at first, but it lasted much longer & was much brighter than a firework. It was extremely close to earth, closer to the horizon than I've ever seen. I was stunned when I saw it. It was a beautiful green, made of nickel or iron, I'm assuming. I saw another shortly after, but it was brief, & I didn't have a clear view of it, like I had with the first. I hope I'm lucky enough to see more. |
