Observer
Name Ann
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks We were driving when we spotted it. This appeared to be about 2 inches long in the sky. The leading end was red-orange in color the mid part was white then a blueish green at the tail. The whole tail end changed to blueish green just before we lost sight of it behind a tree. Approximately 3 seconds later we cleared the tree but the fireball had apparently already burned out.
