| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my backyard in Mission, Texas, looking South–South when I saw a bright lime-green fireball. It was steady and very bright, almost neon green, and traveled all the way down to the horizon without breaking apart. It produced no sound and seemed fairly close compared to typical meteors. The color stayed consistent the entire way until it disappeared at the tree line |
