Observer
Name Susie W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Four adults saw it. It was like a shooting star but green and a tad slower falling straight down from the sky. We were all saying it was not a shooting star and def not an airplane. Then somebody showed me this sight and told me there was a fireball on the east coast at the same time we witness this.
