Reports Report 1414a (Event 1414-2012)

| Name | Brad C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor was large enough for me to see it as a shape, not just a line of light. Visually, it seemed to be four millimeters across. It appeared brighter at the forward end, and the greenish color was more visible to its sides. Although I saw it briefly, it got brighter as I watched it, then vanished. Although I have seen plenty of small meteors, I have never seen one this large, nor any with apparent color. |
