| Name | Alec |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was a bright green color and large. It might have had a little trail but not much. I only saw it for couple of seconds. The strange thing was that it seemed to be very close to the ground, unlike regular meteors that seem far away high in the atmosphere! At first, I thought that it was fireworks or a flare, but those usually go up!! This thing was much larger and went cross the sky in a downward angle!! It was very interesting!! |
