| Name | Kristie |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was very large and VERY bright. It was green in color, which is what really caught my eye. I saw a green light behind clouds and immediately turned to see what it was. I saw a large green colored ball falling and shining green light through the clouds. It was short, quiet and fast. It was fairly close but still in the distance. It didn't really have a 'trail' to it, it looked as if a giant roman candle was fired through our skies. It was beautiful, but also kind of scary. |
