| Name | Neal K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Seen as a brief streaking flash of very BRIGHT and THICK green light above my neighborhood. I waited for a boom, fizz, or crash, but I heard none. I have observed many shooting stars, the space station, comets, etc casually through my life, and this was the brightest and biggest streak I have ever observed in the sky. It was low on the horizon and seemed big, wide, and intense. Bright pale green in color. Stunning and striking! |
