| Name | Jesse T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've stayed up late and watched meteor showers before, but what I saw the night of July 25th was an altogether different qualitative experience. I was driving with my friend at the time, and what impressed us both was how large it appeared in the sky, it's length, and its vivid green color, which set it far apart from any meteor I've seen. I didn't even know fireballs were a separate classification until I started searching online to see if anyone else had seen what my friend and I had seen. |
