Observer
Name Jessica D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. I was driving when it happened and it took me by surprise. It appeared as a very bright greenish light in the sky moving quickly into sight and quickly out of sight. It was about a third to a quarter of the size of the full moon.
