| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My girlfriend and I were inside sitting on a couch looking out a big window and saw the fireball that way. So Even though i only saw it show up at 30degrees it may have started much higher than that. Also our time was approximate, I didn't think to look at a clock, and it was way too fast to get out a camera and take a picture to have a timestamp that way. It sure was green though! |
