| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I stepped out my front door to walk the dog and saw this bright green light fall in an arc across the southern sky. It was a full moon, and I was surprised I could see anything, the moon so high and bright. No tail, no flash. I gasped, oh my god, despite myself. Didn't last more than a second, if that. It didn't hit the ground, just disappeared. The total arc of fireball was maybe 20 degrees, so I saw it at 50 degrees and then it terminated at 30 degrees or so. There was no flash or noise- it was so sudden, unexpected, and divine. I just -- wow. I am in AWE. |
