| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Biggest meteorite I have ever seen. Seemed like it was moving west to east, looked like it came down near srq airport. Never seen one change colors like that. Started as a large white ball, turning green with a orange trail. It was moving way to fast to be anything but a meteorite. Awesome. |
