Observer
Name Natasha B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was watching TV in my house when out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright flash. I quickly looked and thought it was a firework since it was greenish in color. Its hard to say if it was a reflection from the window or I saw it in real time. I just I know it had to be a meteor. I thought that it could have possibly landed in the swamp area by my house. Nothing I have ever seen before. It was amazing!
