| Remarks | not like any meteor I have seen, thats why I am reporting it. It appeared in the NNW sky and seemed to be moving directly away from me NNW also. It was wider than most meteors I have seen, and had colors instead of just being a white line. The trail seemed to have definition to it, not just a line. Started greenish and ended reddish I think. Very strange, I have never seen anything like this. |
