Reports Report 5401c (Event 5401-2026)

Observer
Name Liam M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I did not get to see it for long as I looked up right at the end. It was an emerald green with almost a small green halo extending around it. It was definitely not a firework. I was hard to tell the angle it was falling at as it was moving almost directly away from me. No fragmentation that I could see.
