| Name | Andrew B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was attending a 60th birthday party along with about 100 people seated for dinner in the back yard of a friend's home here in Simi Valley. Many others at the party also saw the Green fireball which glowed but didn't burn with fire. There was no sound or flash it just burned out. Beautiful. What a birthday surprise for my friend, Norm Modglin, of his big 6-0! Wishes were made upon this shooting star... |
