Reports Report 1185cb (Event 1185-2013)

Observer
Name Bryan R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was one of the larger and longest fireball / meteors I've seen in my 40+ years. The green glow was intense, the trail seemed very long and it seemed to go on for several seconds. It also disappeared behind trees on the horizon and was still not "out." It was spectacular.
