| Name | Robert G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've observed many meteor showers, and have been fortunate to even have seen at least two that would easily be considered fireballs. This one, to me, was quite remarkable in how it appeared to have started as a bright white streak, suddenly shed a number of white "sparks" part-way down, and at that point suddenly turned a VERY BRIGHT, VERY THICK, AND VERY RICHLY-GREEN STREAK TO ITS END JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON. |
