Reports Report 4999ar (Event 4999-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Von D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was the largest meteor I’ve ever seen or can recall anyone ever reported, other than the one in russia(?) that was caught on video. I’ve seen streaks of lines in the past, but what I saw on this occasion was oddly shaped (not perfect ball with a tail looking like a thin streak) so it was either large or closer than commonly witnessed. The color was very vibrant green. |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I assumed it was fragmentation because the ball and stream was very oddly shaped for something with that amount of speed (not a sleek line), I was able to distinguish 1 fragment that lasted for a fraction of the time. |
