| Remarks | When I first saw the meteor, I thought it was a flare because of its unique green color, sparking trail behind it, and strange slightly upward trajectory. But I quickly realized it wasn't because of its constant and straight trajectory. I started yelling at my friend to "look, look, look!" Because it was so bright and prominent I thought there was no way someone could miss it if they were looking in its general area. But it quickly disappeared. It's green color and sparking tail were something I've never seen before, in real life or pictures, and I have studied astronomy in college and for fun in my personal life. |
