Reports Report 1455o (Event 1455-2014)

Observer
Name Jeff D
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I did not check the exact time so it is only an approximation. The sky location where the meteor originated was o bscured by a tree, I caught it late in its path. We were outside enjoying a backyard campfire on our patio. It lasted long enough for me to exclaim "Flaming dripper!" and point others around the fire to observe the meteor before it was extinguished. It was a distinctive green color. The best fireball I've seen in many years!
