Reports Report 62c (Event 62-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Liewer C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is the 3rd time in 2 months I have seen such a thing in the Greeley, CO area. I didn't report the first 2 sightings, but both were almost the exact same brightness as the most recent object observed along with its light green color. Previous times I was driving and never saw a flash on impact. Every time I happened to be facing the approximate direction which I find amazing. I am 21 years old and never observed such a thing in my life until a couple months ago, even though I've watched perseid and leonid meteor showers with my family for over a decade |
