| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a few meteor like entries living in Costa Rica and also in the desert in Mexico (Saltillo/Ramos Arizpe area)..: typically green to blue colored. I have never seen one in Pennsylvania before. I was walking my dogs. It was very clear, where I live is pretty dark and the quick meteor just came across my line of site. Once you’ve seen one... you know what it is. It was very brief - it seems like 1-2 seconds. I wish I could have captured it on a video. It was not huge, but big (the biggest I’ve seen was driving from Ramos Arizpe to Monterrey Mexico - was big). This was the next biggest and was either a tight cluster or a somewhat large fireball. It was awesome. I’ve been looking online for last hour to try to see if someone else saw, but nothing yet. |
