| Name | Christian O |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | it lasted approx 2 full seconds and stayed at the same height and flight pattern during its entire visible duration. If you look up a map of the area where I spotted it, I can say it had the same directional trajectory as Interstate 35, which was somewhat south-west. it had a bright green and blue tip with a very bright white tail or trail. there was a very visual separation between the tip and the tail by what I can only describe as what a sonic boom would look like. I'm a truck driver who was laying inside the bed of my truck staring out the window with lights from a quarry pit shining into my cab and I was still able to clearly see this very bright meteor, or at least I'm assuming it is. if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, thank you. |
