| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Brian H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was close and maybe a firework, but it was never moving up, just nearly straight down. The green flash was brief and near the end. It went behind trees, so I lost whatever happened last. I was driving with my wife and we both saw it. |
