| Name | DIANE S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I feel I had to condense one testimony for system to continue...hence deleted portion...unless it did go through: At least three silent Green flashes, like dimmed lightening/fireworks on a cloudy night, not streaks were also seen far Right and opposite direction of Fireball sighting. I witnessed one, son caught the others. P.S. I, ironically just found out about and binge-watched the TV show Meteorite Men" last week! Definitely a Fan.😏 Happy to do any field work for you, if necessary! GOT Metal detector! |
