Reports Report 2265h (Event 2265-2015)

Observer
Name Greg B
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Mostly dark green throughout. Leading edge was deep red. Light yellow near the fading tail. Perfect 'tadpole' type shape, wider near the lead and narrowed to the tail. As a meteor shower enthusiast, this was, as far as colors go, the most interesting fireball/meteor I've seen. 2.5 second duration. The colors were so perfectly distributed the first thing that popped in my mind was that it looked 'hand drawn'. Very cool!
