Observer
Name paula U
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving home on the phone with my husband. I saw a shooting Star purple bluish, and color cross over the highway diagonal so I know it wasn’t fireworks. It looked like it would’ve fell into my neighborhood cause I can see the neighborhood from the highway areas Bergen Beach Brooklyn. The ball of fire could’ve been about 5 to 10 feet not sure cause it was about half mile a mile away from me the tail was white color long at least 20 feet. I seen a shooting star when I was a little kid actually fall to the ground so I remember what it was and what it look like.
