| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robert M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this before and I have seen shooting stars and meteor showers before. This was MUCH larger, about half the apparent size of the moon that night, and much slower, the colors were spectacular, a blue green mix that got brighter as it descended and then flashed a brilliant white before disappearing very close to the horizon. |
