Observer
Name wendy r
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was beautiful-.very bright and colorful...I think it was falling long before it came into my view..we live in a valley surrounded by a lot of trees.....it seemed to be very low, We were walking from our barn up to the house. I even wondered if it landed in the woods nearby....cause it faded into the woods when I lost sight of it. I am 46 and have see several falling stars- but this was by far the brightest longest fireball I have every seen....I saw one in grand cayman many years ago..but it was just white light....this definitely had a greenish- almost blue tint with big yellowish-white tail. My husband and one of our daughters saw it too
