Reports Report 6743af (Event 6743-2021)

Observer
Name James W
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks The fireball looked as if it was shooting straight down but it disappeared behind a line of trees. I did not hear an explosion or see debris unfortunately it was gone so quick I could not get a picture. The object itself was darker than the flames and tail but was still giving off a yellowish while light. It appeared about the size of a softball from where I was standing and had the flames were multiple shades of green. I've seen shooting stars and meteors during meteor showers but I've never seen anything this big in person. It looks like a meteor but much closer and green.
