| Remarks | Long train, line down the center and glowing on the sides, fireball ball turned light green briefly and then back to whitish yellow. Came out of the trees from Leo/Venus area and into the trees on the horizon and kept going. Amazing. The two of us walking together saw it. Had been out earlier and only saw one meteor maybe an hour before and was on walk in same direction heading up hill. Did not see fragmentation but maybe some sparkling as zoom across sky. |
