Reports Report 833e (Event 833-2010)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Steven B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a "shooting star" before, which was in a very starry, clear night. The shooting star was the same size/brightness of any other star. In this case I was driving before sunrise, and I would describe this as a very large, very bright, very green object in the sky that appeared out of nowhere, and was gone. It was impossible to miss. |
