| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was my first fireball sighting. I was stargazing at my retreat center, looking south, wistfully watching some satellites. It came and streaked west for 2.5-3 seconds and its tail streaked with an iridescent bluish-green that reminded me of metallic ore during the last 1-2 seconds. Breathtaking. |
