Name | Aleta H |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | I was seated at time of viewing facing SW looking out the window. Object streaked by behind trees going from NE to SW as an amber streak, turning neon green, then when out of my field of vision lit up the sky a bright yellowish white. It was still dark outside and for a second the whole sky to the SW turned light. I wasn't sure what I had seen and expected to hear an explosion, but no sound ever happened. I thought it could have been a flare as it turned neon green, but it streaked by very quickly and seemed like a meteor. |
