Reports Report 2240ap (Event 2240-2017)

Observer
Name Kimberly W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The area where I saw the fireball was extremely cloudy. I could not see any stars in that area. Although the fireball appeared to have an almost green glow I think it was only appearing that color to me because of the filter of the heavy cloud coverage. I was struck by how bright it was when I could see no other light sources through the clouds in that proximity.
