Observer
Name Michael B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks 3 people saw it. It was behind me when a guy made some exclamation of amazement. I turned an saw it streaking down for maybe a second and then it disappeared behind clouds as wasn't seen again. It was a greenish glowing object almost as large as the 3/4 rising moon on the other side of the sky right after sunset.
