| Name | Barb P |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was not as long or bright as the meteor I saw in November 1999 which was huge, exploded, and very freaky! This one arced down on a rather steep trajectory, had a green with white color for both the head and the tail. It looked much like a firework in reverse and did not explode at the end, but I may not have seen the end as it seemed to end slightly before the edge of my horizon over the neighbor's house so I can't be sure if it fragmented or not. |
