| Name | Bonnie H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw a meteor fall several years ago, a glowing green line across the sky as it fell. THIS experience was different. We first saw this bright light in the sky. I wondered if it was a helicopter approaching or a new skylight or? Then we saw a trail of sparkly fragments and the 'path' of the object turned green like my first meteorite experience from years ago. Quite amazing. |

| Remarks | It was 'sparkly', we thought perhaps a meteorite had broken up and these were the fragments. The 'fireball' was stilll in front of the trailing fragments that we saw, it did not appear to have completely exploded... but it did turn green as it went in that direction. |
