| Remarks | I witnessed this meteor fireball when I was driving on Prescott Lakes Parkway to the south between Willow Lake Road and State Route 89 in Prescott, Arizona on Wednesday, September 14, 2011. It was 7:45 PM in Arizona time (which is same as Pacific daylight saving time). The green glow was flying across my field of vision almost horizontally from west to east (right to left). It lasted for about 10 seconds before it disappeared behind a mountain. It was so huge that I thought it was a falling aircraft at first! I have never seen such a huge meteorite flying for such long duration. |
