RemarksThe object was shooting bright and fast and at a point it seemed to get brighter, whiter, and took on a greenish hue. I thought it was an airplane crashing at first.

RemarksIt got wider like an umbrella. It was kinda of hard to tell because it was dark and the light was super bright (making it hard to tell what I was seeing).
