Name | Greg E |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | The streak started as bright white, then changed to an intense, unmistakable green, then back to white as it broke up. Very memorable, even thought the entire episode was probably only 2 seconds long. Easily the most remarkable meteorite I have ever seen. |
