| Observer | |

| Name | Ian M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I didn't know what I was looking at. It was unlike any shooting star I ever observed. It was bigger, brighter, and seemingly closer than any meteor flashing by. It was green like some fireworks and since I saw it over Lake George I assumed that was what it was. I expected it to explode at the end. It just "fizzled" out as quickly as it appeared. |
