Reports Report 1181s (Event 1181-2015)

Observer
Name Michael T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball was larger than others I have seen and a very bright green during most of its flight that I saw. Orange and yellow became visible toward the end. Not sure if this is a sign of a breakup. It is the 2nd green fireball I have seen in the same general trajectory in the same general area over the last three weeks or so.
