| Remarks | There was a long glowing trail as the fireball fell, I was driving which made it a bit difficult to be precise. Also why I didn’t hear anything. The fire ball almost seemed to have flames coming off of it that went into the green color range, and that lasted for at least 3/4 of the time I watched it fall. It disappeared behind trees just above the horizon, still looking brilliant and huge. I’ve watched fireballs before and this was the most amazing one I’ve seen.I’ve watched fireballs before and this was the most amazing one I’ve seen |
