| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am filing this report a second time because I am not sure the directional orientation was correct when I was first trying to adjust the google map guy's direction. So I am redoing it. As I said this was an amazing sight, given that I was inside a lighted room looking out a window and was talking to my son on the phone. I stopped the conversation to tell him about it. It was amazing,bright green with yellow kind of flashing around the left(back) side of the fireball. I have seen many meteors in Casper, but never one with this kind of brilliant colors. |
