Reports Report 790ba (Event 790-2026)

Observer
Name Mike P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Laying on couch watching TV with feet toward picture window when large green meteor burned bright through the night sky right in front of me. An absolute perfect view. It appeared so large at such a low altitude, my first thought was, I hope it doesn't impact earth. But if it did, it probably entered the Gulf of Mexico.
