Reports Report 8053q (Event 8053-2020)

Observer
Name Sarah B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was very unexpected. I thought it was a plane landing, at first, however, it was moving so fast that had it been a plane it would have most definitely crashed. It appeared for a couple of seconds and then it was gone behind the clouds. It was very green and bright. I am a Science Education Director for Camp Adventure and have been teaching for 17 years. I saw this just as I was pulling into camp. It was rather amazing!
