| Name | Jessica F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was amazingly bright and green at first and it slowly fizzled. It was a remarkable sight in my area, which is pretty filled with light pollution. I actually thought it was a drone or something crashing when I first saw it, but the way the light slowly and steadily faded was far more like a meteor. I have never seen a fireball but this was so much larger than any shooting star I’ve ever seen. |
