Observer
Name Jessica O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My Dad passed away about 14 hours earlier, on 5/29/26 at 1:29pm CST. I was sitting in front of my large north facing window on the second story of my home at my computer writing his obituary when I saw this falling bright green shooting light. It was beautiful. I truly believe it was my Dad saying hello.
