Reports Report 1781i (Event 1781-2024)

Observer
Name Danielle L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving with earbuds in, I wouldn't know if It made a sound. I was glancing at the sky, admiring the little Dipper and the fireball started across the bottom right corner of the little Dipper constellation. The trees were tall in that area so I couldn't see it as it disappeared behind the tops of the trees. It was flashing colors between green and blue but mainly green. If the little Dipper were 6 inches across, the trail of the fireball would have been 10.
