| Name | Nicole E |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've witnessed one meteor shower in which the meteors were orange, yellow, white, and light blue in color; also, one "falling star" that was white-ish yellow, and a meteor inside earth's atmosphere that was flaming orange. But this one was so odd because it was such a bright, vivid green. I've never seen one that color before so it really piqued my interest. I was glad to read on the site that my b/f and I were not the only ones to see this! |
