Reports Report 5299w (Event 5299-2019)

Observer
Name Linda H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I observed the meteor until it was obscured by a hill opposite to my house. It was very bright with a green tail but it did not leave a significant trail after it became obscured behind the hill. It was larger and lower on the horizon than any meteors I have seen in the past. I would describe it as a "green fireball".
