Observer
Name Kevin S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks While driving west on Pond Road in Robbinsville with my son we first saw what looked like a roman candle through the trees, then we reached an open field and saw the meteor get brighter and greener before fizzling out. It tracked across the sky almost level across the horizon at about 20 degrees elevation.
