Reports Report 2132aip (Event 2132-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David Y |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The color just struck me as odd. I saw a fireball in 1991 in Ontario and that had a whole spectrum of different colors as it streaked through the sky. But this was a strong "fluorescenty" looking green. My wife witnessed it, too..... I had seen another couple of small meteors the minutes beforehand, one emanating from a point in the sky close to this huge one. |
