Reports Report 1907dr (Event 1907-2013)

Observer
Name Royce L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The sighting seemed too large to be a meteor or in this case a fireball. My first thought was that it was a Roman candle since it was green and large. I live 7 miles east of Marietta, GA and it appeared to fall on Marietta. That was due to the size and angle of desent. I was pulling into my driveway when it caught my eye. It had a 45° desent from top right to bottom left. Trees blocked the fireball at both ends. It lasted 3-4 seconds. I have never seen such a sighting in my 65 years.
