Reports Report 2023e (Event 2023-2013)

Observer
Name Jeffrey C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I searched green meteor on twitter after i saw it and several people in the area saw the same one. including a person at Manchester airport in NH which just about lines up with the direction the one i saw was heading. I saw it with it's green glow and nice long tail disappear behind a cloud and then reappear on the other side before it was out of sight completely. Really added to the effect of seeing it. My first green one. Very cool.
