| Name | Greg C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was coming home from a baseball game heading North on 222. I was entering the area of the Reading city overview from the Mohnton exit when the meteor or fireball was seen. It was the brightest shooting start (or whatever you'll call it) I've ever seen. It turned green right before it stopped. I was driving, so I was not able to observe any other sounds, etc. Plus it was dark. I'm amazed by what I saw. |
