| Name | Bruce L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Bright green fireball, trajectory was straight down from my angle. I thought it might have been like a safety flare only bright green but impossible as too high in sky. It was to the west of Taos, New Mexico. I was observing meteors when I saw this bright green ball dropping down and somewhat slower than a meteor. Very puzzling. |
