| Remarks | It was very hard for me to get the directions correct on your form. From our back deck of the given address we saw the meteor straight up. It traveled pretty much due south. On a map I would assume that would be from our spot in Roellen, TN directly towards Brownsville, TN. It disappeared slightly behind some trees but it was bright enough to still be visible till it went over the horizon. It was a cloudy night so I would think it was fairly low to be that clear. I have seen my fair share of fire balls and have never seen any that large and bright. There were five of us on the deck that saw it. It had blue and green hues. The tail had specks of orange flashing. |
