| Remarks | this was the biggest brightest greenest meteor/ comet I have ever seen. Truly remarkable. I was laying on couch talking on phone, facing window, and was amazed. This was very big and very bright and very green. I was facing Midway Airport and thought it might even be a plane exploding or something. I ran outside to see if I heard a crash. |
