| Name | Brian M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing out in the back yard looking south adjusting landscaping lights when the sky lit up. At first it was just a bright white light then it got brighter streaking across and burning up into a fireball. It had the tail and all. I've watched showers with my neighbor a few times over the years, and I've always just been fixed on the sky, I literally had to turn my head from left to right. It was on of the coolest things ever. I've seen a green one before but nothing like this. |
