| Remarks | This was truly something that I will never forget seeing. I'm glad that my wife sent me to the store for a few items for breakfast for the kids, or I would've missed this. I was pulling up to a stop sign and had a clear shot of this fire ball going across the earth. |

| Remarks | It had a small tail behind it. I didn't keep my eyes on the tail as much as the meteor itself since it was something that I never seen before. It was green in color and followed orange and yellow. The whole things went by in about 8-10 seconds. At first I thought it was a plan going down on fire, but then thought it was something else from space, but not sure if it was comet or a shooting star. |
