| Name | Kristi K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was driving east and it caught my eye up above and to the south just a bit. It was green, then blue. It seemed to split into two parts both with tails that ended at the same point. When it disappeared, it seemed to sparkle. I couldn't decide what it was until I saw video of a meteor in Oklahoma yesterday. I was just over the border by 15-20 miles in Kansas. It was a very neat thing to experience. |
