Observer
Name April S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving South and my daughter yelled out and pointed towards the East there was a shooting star. I turned my head to see what she was looking at and it was a very large green ball glowing and falling towards the ground with a large white glowing tail. It seemed to be in the air awhile. Then as it got closer to the ground it just disappeared.
