Reports Report 1105b (Event 1105-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving, noticed green light on surroundings, then saw fireball near top of car window to my left. Watched it clearly move straight down in the sky from my viewpoint on the Earth. It ended by breaking up into many pieces suddenly, not quite a flash, just disintegration into perhaps 5 or 6 pieces that all faded fairly quickly. Angular velocity was less than most meteors, but still fairly fast, perhaps 10 or 15 degrees per second as a rough guess. |
