| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my hot tub directly facing it when it appeared. It was massive, unlike anything I've ever seen in the sky. Like the size of a bus falling straight down out of the sky a mile away. In total it was visible for up to 4 seconds. It was white and green, and then exploded near the end of its course into a bright green fireball that continued streaking for another full second. Stunning. I would love to know more about this event. |
