| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Timothy M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was looking out a window of my house when I saw this bright green meteor flash directly over my neighbors house. This makes me very confident in the exact direction I was facing while observing. It was fairly low on the horizon, moving almost directly away from me in an apparent downward direction. Lasted right about two seconds. |
