| Name | Robert N |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There were four of us that all saw this. I checked my security cameras from the house, but none of them appear to have captured anything due to angle. I'm going to check again, just in case time stamps on DVR system may be off due to day light savings time. It was a wonderful sight to see. It also appeared like we saw a black object streaking across the sky that started glowing green, then got really bright light green, then faded away as it streaked across the sky. It also looked pretty large (compared to other shooting stars and objects we've witnessed). |
