Reports Report 7421dp (Event 7421-2025)

Observer
Name Bridget T
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This did not look like other meteors I've seen when watching for meteor showers or seeing a random "falling star". This appeared relatively low in the sky at a sharp angle. It moved very rapidly, and was a very bright, vivid green color in the night sky. It caught my eye in the distance visible over a farm field and woods, near the horizon. It was an awesome sight for me!
