Reports Report 2092dh (Event 2092-2013)

Observer
Name Jason R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks At first I almost thought it was a plane on fire because the fireball was white and I was waiting for an explosion, but when the fireball went closer and closer to the horizon it turned green and I became confident I saw a meteor. The trail was quite wide so I am thinking it was quite close to my location. It is possible it may have ended up in Lake Michigan based on the direction it was heading.
