| Name | Gavin S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving with a work colleague and we both witnessed this. It was bright luminous green, and suddenly appeared in our field of vision. It could have been descending or heading East, but our angle of view looked like it was heading down. As it descending it had a minimal bright green trail, and lasted in region of 3-4 seconds. It was pretty bright thats why it caught both our attention, and on arrival at work looked into what this was, and have concluded we may have been lucky enough to have witnessed a green meteor. |
