Observer
Name Ryan B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was sitting in my car looking out the window when I saw it. I had no idea what it was because I've never seen something that bright and colorful seemingly falling from the sky. I instantly googled "bluish green shooting star" and happened to find this site. It was truly an impeccably beautiful sight!
