| Name | Cait W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm reporting this here because I've not seen it mentioned on the news or online and it was pretty bright & definitely green. I observed two Meteoroids, one about 10 minutes after and another about half an hour later, when looking straight up and to the north NE while standing in the same location. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |

| Remarks | glowing/light trail that followed fireball/meteor as it was "falling" stayed visible for <2 seconds after fireball/meteor was gone. - Sorry, I don't understand how to figure the degree of the train from the note on your site.I wouldn't call the train long or short either. Fireball/meteor looked bigger than my thumb held up at the angle I saw it from. Train was about as long as my thumb as it was falling, shorter after fireball/meteor disappeared. W-SW |
