Reports Report 667ef (Event 667-2013)

Observer
Name John C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This object seemed very close. It was extremely large, bigger than any meteor or shooting star I have ever seen. The trail was large and very, very bright green. I initially took it for fireworks, but it took a large path across the horizon before disappearing behind a tree line. It seemed almost horizontal in its trajectory.
