| Name | Alex Z |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I saw it through big windows while laying in bed. (Fan on, so I could not hear anything) Remembering the angles and trajectory were tricky because I immediately jumped out of bed when I saw it. It was very bright, almost white in the center of the trailing end, but still very bright/lime green and very big! Nothing like shooting stars I’ve seen in the past. It looked so close! The front of it flickered a little just before it disappeared. It happened so fast even I am skeptical about what I saw! The duration was around 2 seconds. Maybe 2.5? It was so cool. |
