Observer
Name S H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Observed while driving slowly uphill on rural lane, leafless trees and roof of vehicle partially obstructed view. Briefly above treeline - Green color, appeared to have squared or angular leading edge, color and shape seemed more consistent with a reflection, but noted time (slight delay) just in case. Between 6:48 - 6:49. Time is consistent with event reported on the news, and rural location does not likely have a source for a green reflection.
