Reports Report 6206ez (Event 6206-2024)
| Observer | |

| Name | Mark C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When it first came into view it was green in color and quickly changed to blue, which turned orange in the last moments I saw it before it went below the trees in my view. It had “sparks” trailing behind it the whole time, and was probably the most spectacular and firework-like meteor I have ever seen, especially since the sun hadn’t set fully yet. I was training my dog to walk, so I am not sure the precise time it happened, but it was between 6:45-7:05pm. Thank you! |
