| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Thomas F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was with a group of people who were talking, was the first to see it. Unsure if i saw the whole event or only the end. At least one other person saw it before it burned up. What I saw lasted only 5ish seconds, object broke up and then burned away rapidly. Had a distinct greenish hue. It looked like videos I had seen before but I am definitely not an expert, and it was the first fireball I have seen. |
