Reports Report 1790q (Event 1790-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Carmen L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my car coming up my driveway and saw a green flash, which flickered 2 or 3 times, first that I though was lightning. Then I saw the meteor streak across the sky. I walked through my house and out to my back deck and looked up at the sky. About 4 minutes later I heard a boom, not loud but distinctive. Theres the obvious chance it could be something else but when I first heard it I immediately thought it could be the meteor hitting the ground. Any information about this that you can get I would be excited to hear more! |
