| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I first saw this stream downward from my position, sitting on a bench on the sidewalk. It went behind a building before it ended. It was initially a thin "shooting star" like light that got thicker and brighter and before it was blocked by the building, it had a white/yellow ball like end with a greenish glow around it. There may have been some orange in there as well. It lasted maybe a tad more than a second. I wish I was positioned to see it end but a roof line got in the way. |
