Observer
Name Michelle U
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I’ve never seen a meteor before. I thought it was a Roman candle firework but my husband who’s seen many meteors said it was a meteor. It was bright and had a green glow with a glowing tail. It lasted maybe 2 seconds. No sound. It was as if someone shot a Roman candle high up in the sky within 10 miles away. That’s how large the flair was.
