| Remarks | A greenish/blue colored meteor / fire ball flashed across the skyline. It appeared very close to ground. It looked like a comet, with green/blue flames on both sides. I waited for a crashing sound, but never heard anything. I'm an elementary school teacher, who is awestruck at the moment. |
