| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Patrick P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | There almost seemed to be an aura like it was an irregular shaped chunk. The front was greenish blue and the tail faded to a yellowish orange fire trail. It was only for a couple seconds. The main fireball green color seemed to have a shape… not spherical as I have seen before. That is why I say it was some kind of space trash maybe… |
