Reports Report 1211ai (Event 1211-2024)

Observer
Name Patrick B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have never seen a shooting star like this, usually a small trail of light and gone. This was large to my perspective, and lasted long enough for myself and my sister to get a good look at it at least several seconds. It had green to blueish flame around the trailing 2/3 of the ball with short whiteish tail. Started low in the sky and lasted several seconds until disappearing behind the trees.
