Observer
Name George L
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Early dawn watering my garden, saw a strange green & blue-green glow on the ground noticing my shadow. I knew what it was so I imidiately turned around to see a slow moving mostly green & variably bright meteor decending due NE. From my shadow, probably started 25° away from zenith due North and lasted near 4 seconds (noticing my shadow on ground to fragmentaion). Thanks!
