Reports Report 539b (Event 539-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joan |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Looked like one of the fireworks typical from my neighbor, very large and very bright green, except there was only one and no sounds; small spark-like fragment splintered off and within a second entire thing disappeared. My other meteor sightings were usually split second and many times dimmer and smaller. I\'ve seen shooting star (with tail) last several seconds less than this. |
