Reports Report 6135gh (Event 6135-2019)
| Observer | |

| Name | Ricky C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I'd like to say I was maybe 50-100 yards away when I saw the green fireball. I was on a windy/curvy, very low lit road (with my brights on), and I had just come out of a corner when I saw the bright green fireball, which lasted a few 2, 3, 4 seconds. I did see the green fireball disintegrate about 3-5 stories from ground level. I did see a trail/green glow it left behind. It was literally in front of my eyes, in an empty woody field, which was very cool to see. I'm always looking up in the night sky or even daylight, because I have seen some unbelievable things in the past... Things I don't talk about to not sound crazy. |
