| Name | Matthew M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many shooting stars and I’ve been lucky enough to have seen a fireball or two. This seemed to be a combination of both. Unfortunately, I was indoors at the time. On the plus side, it’s very dark, I have a large window, and it’s a cloudless night. I was watching TV which sits adjacent the window. I saw whatever it was in its entirety - first noticed by my peripheral vision and then for the rest of its journey (fractions of a second, maybe a second) with my “main” vision. It was mostly greenish white. An awesome sight. |
