| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | i've seen shooting stars here and there... but this was the first time i ever saw something so large and bright so clearly. (though i can't tell if it was size or distance or both that made it so.) it was a really bright white mass with a green glow and a decent sized tail with (i don't don't how to describe it,) sparks, embers, or debris bits sloughing off the main body burning white amid the green glow. as it came in at an almost shallow angle. at first i saw a green dot in the sky and had the second or two to wonder if it was a drone or something before it lit up like a firework (though much larger) as it descended. |
