Reports Report 4937f (Event 4937-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Shannon P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Slow falling, bright green fireball, far lower on horizon than any "shooting star" I've ever seen before. My husband and I are driving North-West on Hwy-84 in New Mexico, just east of Fort Sumner. My husband also witnessed, and we both agree this was clearly not an airplane or other man-made object; definitely a falling meteor/fireball. |
