Observer
Name Andrew M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Was finally a cool night so I was taking a walk on route 18 in Abington MA...purpose of walk was nothing more than exercise. I started north in about the area of 400 Bedford street and I usually get to the intersection with a Mobil gas station (960 Bedford street) and then turn around to walk home. Immediately upon turning around and facing south on the sidewalk in front of the Mobil, I saw a blue/green fireball coming left to right that started almost directly in front of me and ended to my right. Was above the tree line but not what I would describe as too far up in the sky, had a slight downward trajectory but it happened so quick that it didn’t have enough time to really end too much lower than when it began. I know for an absolute fact this happened at 1103/1104 PM because I called my girlfriend immediately to tell her that I saw something incredible fly through the sky, and I have a time stamp of that call at 11:04 PM.
