Observer
Name Bobby D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have witnessed several meteor showers and shooting stars. I knew this was neither of them, it was bigger and brighter and the radiant green light was amazing to see. I didn't know what i had seen until I found a description of a fire ball on this site. It happened so fast I almost didn't believe I saw what I did.
