Reports Report 488l (Event 488-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Drew M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving south when something as bright as the moon caught my eye to my left (east). I looked and saw a green fireball that appeared in my quick glance to be sparking red. It disappeared shortly thereafter, but based on the fact that it caught my attention before I saw it, I estimate it lasted over 5 seconds. |
