Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | At our destination, ~5 miles away to the east northeast, we saw a number of shooting stars (2-3) within 5 minutes and several more off of Rt. 89 as we made our way northwest (2 within a minute). Both of these occurrences took place about an hour, hour and half after our initial encounter with the green fireball, which was sometime between 10:30 and 10:50. Just really glad I could report this somewhere :) It seemed to be a \"once in a lifetime\" event. Green. Fireball. |
