Observer
Name Stephanie T
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The fire ball was a brilliant Green color (almost street sigh green) and quite large. When it was About 20° Above the horizon it looked like it had a yellow horizontal disk that burst (flashed) from the center and lasted only as long as a camera flash. Then it was just the brilliant green fireball falling until it disappeared beneath the horizon.
