Reports Report 3807ec (Event 3807-2016)

Observer
Name Heidi H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Thought for a split second that I was seeing a headlight of a very low flying plane (was near the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport) then realized it was too big and too fast. It went from a bright white colour, quickly to a bright green then got a lighter green colour as it went out of my view.
