| Name | Megan H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen reports on social media of seeing this same phenomenon at 1:33am here in LA, Pasadena, but also Rancho Cucamonga & San Diego! It was an incredibly intense, bright & brilliant neon green light (many, including my husband, saw a super long blue tail that had an ethereal quality). It looked almost like a cartoon comet. I’ve never seen a color that vivid in my life. Very large and appeared super close & low in the sky, compared to meteor showers I’ve seen. |
