| Name | Lisa T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I frequently see meteors that display longer tails, last longer, and are either dim white or brighter but with a green coloring. This was very bright, white, & quick. Had about 2seconds too actually see it before it burned out in a bright white flash. |
