Reports Report 9918f (Event 9918-2025)

Observer
Name Heather B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Was driving down 219 and bright green light flew over car, it came from behind me and was traveling in similar direction I was but only saw for a few seconds. It did look like it had a tail but not a lingering trail behind it. It was so bright and seemed so low. Stars were barely visible at the time due to clouds and weather so it was a shocking and beautiful sight
