Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Tthe most remarkable meteorite I have ever seen. My wife andI were sitting on our deck when I noticed it. I called her attention to it and she had timeto look and watch it as it passed below the horizon. It had a brilliant green color with some orange and white. It was the largest (in diameter) either of us has ever seen. It also moved mush slower than any meteroite either of us have ever seen.
