Reports Report 918r (Event 918-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Taryn J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object that I saw looked like a firework, but heading towards the Earth straight down. It happened very quickly and I just remember that it was green. It would not have been a firework as our town restricts them to only the Fourth of July. I was driving, heading eastbound in a left turn lane to go north. I had forgotten about this until all of the recent discussions came up on meteors. Hope it helps! |
