| Remarks | I was headed South, meteor approached left to right (East to West). It was a bright light green with a white/cream/green tail. The tail did not appear initially, but it did after about 3 seconds. The tail seemed to diminish and reappear. The observation lasted approximately 6-9 seconds in total. It was an amazing and beautiful sight observed by myself, my wife and my son. |
