| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Chris M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was very bright, I pretty quickly realized we were seeing a fireball (my wife and I both saw it while we were driving, I noted the time on the clock in my car as 8:19 PM. From our vantage point, it did not appear to be moving very quickly, compared to a typical meteor I have seen. Greenish colored, then orange-red fragmentation at the very end before it disappeared. |
