Reports Report 1854k (Event 1854-2014)

Observer
Name Melinda H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have seen many meteors in Arizona and Nevada in rural areas pitch black with a plethora of stars. This was nothing like I've seen before. My phone stopped working prior to the meteor. As I rebooted my phone this bright GREEN light was moving toward the ground. It never faded, dimmed or began to diffuse. It was enough for me to sign up and report it to this site.
