Reports Report 4663j (Event 4663-2018)

Observer
Name Ron D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks When I first noticed the fireball it was white in color and seemed larger and slower than what I've seen in a "meteor shower". Mid-way along its path the fireball disappeared then reappeared. When it reappeared its brightness and color was more intense but the speed was the same. As it continued on its trajectory the fireball seemed to get bigger and the color went from white to a bluish green color then it disappeared. It was dark so no trail was visible. The entire viewing was approximately 1 second. As an additional reference, the entire viewing path could be divided into thirds. The first third was the white trail, second third was when it disappeared and the final third was the more intense and color changing fireball. It was completely different than anything I've ever seen in the past.
