Observer
Name Gary S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Was coming on slight angle in south west sky angled down northward, but was coming towards us on the beach moving downward getting brighter and brighter then dissappeared in the treelines on top of sand dunes. Almost seemed as if it came in and hit the ground. Have no proof of that but i didn't see it burn out. Been fishing this beach my entire life im 25 years old and never seen anything like that. We also saw a orange meteor with orange tail in north sky at about 8:30pm that was traveling straight east and burnt out. And at about 9:40pm we can a white meteor in the northwest sky traveling straight north. it was white with no tail. Just strange ive been night fishing my entire life and never seen a meteor in ny area becuase theres so many lights that block them out. I only see meteors when I vacation in new hampshire every summer. The main one with green tail kinda freaked me and my friend out and thats why I'm emailing you. I literally took 2 steps back as it was coming down and getting brighter and brighter, for a second i questioned if it was going to come and hit near me. Very peculiar to see a meteor with green tail that lit up part of the sky while comet ison is on its way past mars soon. Could it have been a fragment from that comet? Thanks Gary
