| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen “shooting stars” many times in my 55 years. This was nothing like those sightings. It was probably 100 times the size of a normal shooting star and seemed so much closer. Greenish yellow, vibrant and luminous. Left a streak behind it. I feel like most of the color was in the actual “ball” and then faded to a white tail. At least one other person at the outdoor gathering saw it. He shared my excitement and said, “something that big will have to be on the news tonight” |
