Reports Report 147a (Event 147-2011)

Observer
Name David O
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Came from the direction of Gemini. Initially thought it is a low flying jet landing lights head on. Had a green-blue trail (not train) about 15 degrees long and appeared to breakup along the trail. Appeared to get close and slow and makes me wonder if there is material on the ground.
