| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen plenty of shooting stars in my life, but never one that was bright green. It looked like it was glowing. Also I've never seen a shooting star flash once it got close to earth. I'm guessing on impact but I have no idea. |

| Remarks | It looked like, from my angle, that it was falling straight down. And once it disappeared behind the rooftops of the houses in my neighborhood, there was a big green flash. I couldn't believe what I just saw. |
