Observer
Name Bryn M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks During full moon, so it was very bright. I work night shifts so have seen many meteors. This was the most incredible meteor I have seen. Started white then quickly turned green to greenish blue then it dissapeared while still above the horizon. Looked much larger than other meteors i have seen.
