| Name | Joe |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Sitting in my living room and saw it through the front picture window. It was a greenish-blue ball larger than any shooting star I have ever seen. Did not appear to have a tail but we have sheer curtains on our picture window so I am not sure. I have spent a lot of time outdoors in places with low \"light\" pollution(mountains, ocean fishing at night), have seen a ton of shooting stars and meteor showers, but nothing that resembled this. It was much larger and not the same color(bright white) as a shooting star. Glad I found this site and others who saw the same!!! I thought I was seeing things! |
