| Name | Benjamin M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Saw this bright glowing green fireball at 0635, 22SEP13. Looked like it was falling out of the sky at a 45 degree angle. Very distinct and was very clear that it was not a shooting star. Huge in size, to me it look to be about the size of the moon as you would see it in the sky. Very brief but also very noticeable. Contacted local news via email to see if other claims had been made....no response. |
