| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | it came across the sky out of nowhere. at first i thought it was a falling star, but then realized it was too big for that. it was bright green & it then looked like it exploded in the sky, but we were able to see the meteor/star (whatever it was) as it started to fade away. my husband and i agree we were able to see it fade away for about 6 or 7 seconds & then it was gone. |
