| Name | Kathy H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was very quick, very big, very bright, I was laying down in bed and saw it thru the upper part of my window over a peaked part of my roof. Expected a sonic boom but never hear one. The night was extremely clear. The object was in the western view. My address doesn't pull up and the app didn't work well with this ipad. The body was a whiter white, the aura of it was both a yellow then greenish light. Bigger than any meteor I've ever photographed. Expected it to be more of a plane or rocket explosion. |
