Reports Report 3216hm (Event 3216-2016)

Observer
Name Mark F
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Feel lucky to have seen it. Was definitely not normal and nothing I have ever seen before. Much bigger and much slower then a normal meteorite. What I saw was definitely Green and unlike anything I have ever seen In the sky. Seems like it took at least 8-10 seconds to travel from left to right and longer before it completely disappeared. I am not sure of an exact time as I was driving down the freeway. The other cars around me obviously saw it as well as they were slowing down or stopping. I put 10:35pm because that is what the news said and it seemed right to me. Between 10:30 and 11:00 i would guess.
