| Name | Christopher W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was totally different from a fireball i witnessed a few years ago in a northerly direction at around 11.45pm, whilst out walking my dog. I just happened to look up and a huge bright green fireball, very fast moving from a pure vertical direction disappeared beyond the horizon.I cringed, fearing/expecting a huge flash and explosion of some kind, but nothing. Both were exactly the same colour. I did report it at the time. This last one seemed very near to me. The previous one, even though instinctively felt close, was probably alot further away. |
