| Name | christopher w |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving down the road and I looked out my car window and i saw something bright green with a tail falling out of the sky, at first I thought it was a green flare but the way it was coming down and the size and velocity there is no way it was that. The color is what puzzles me the most your site says that meteorites are usually red, blue, and sometimes violet but this was bright green. |
