| Remarks | This fireball/meteor was green in color and very bright, and the trail it left was almost 30 degrees, like a \\ on the keyboard. I think it may have been a peice of the X-ray ROSAT observatory since it was seriously bright, almost as bright as a full moon or possibly the sun. It seemed to be close enough that it may have landed in north oklahoma city, near the south of Kilpatrick Turnpike and Western Ave. |
