| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | K J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen several meteor showers, and I know this is a peak time for Perseide, but the bright green is the first I have seen like this. I saw it through a window of a dark room in the house, so it was very bright to gain attention. Perhaps it was airplane debris or such? |
