Reports Report 5603e (Event 5603-2023)

| Name | Carlos Z |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Beautiful. I can’t say I heard a sound, but I could feel what it sounded like; I can’t put the feeling in to words. It was a green mass that appeared very close followed by a light green trail. It was moving relatively slow. We thought it was a shooting star but after thinking about it we were certain that it was a meteor. I was already looking at the night sky before the meteor appeared, so I didn’t miss a single second of it. |
