| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sammy M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I would've thought it was a firework due to the sparkling trail, but there was absolutely no sound, and it was traveling in a straight line at a downward angle, with no visible arc. I had my back turned when it started, but it lit up my entire pasture with a greenish light so I whipped around and ended up staring at the sky for a few minutes trying to figure out what had just happened. |
