Reports Report 2114ch (Event 2114-2024)

Observer
Name Shari W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Several neighbors saw it. It was so low and large, I thought it could be a drone that was crash landing into the neighborhood, but the glow and tail were very bright and unusual like a large metal garbage can on green fire. No neighbor has admitted to crashing a drone at 10:15pm.
