Reports Report 2449wl (Event 2449-2017)

Observer
Name Lauren J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was attending a music festival with several thousands of other people. After the fireball disappeared there was loud cheering indicating that most of the audience witnessed it as well! It was a loud concert so I have no idea if there was any sound associated with the fireball. I thought it was a shooting star at the time but I have seen dozens of shooting stars and this one definitely seemed different, mostly it was the green color that I noticed.
