Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was really extraordinary! I have never seen anything like it. A brilliant glowing green fire ball. i am really not sure of the exact time. The time I wrote was an estimate. I would love to hear back from you about others who saw this. Is it part of the meteor shower from comet ISON? How rare is a green fire ball like this in Massachusetts. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Judy Tsafrir
