| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nichole S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | From direct observation, the color was red/orange and appeared suddenly in the sky. My neighbor captured it from a different angle on her house security camera, but it appears almost white from her view. I do observe meteor showers fairly frequently and this was MUCH larger than anything I have ever seen before. |
