Observer
Name James A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I first saw this green meteor while driving and thought it was a light on a helicopter or plane, there is an airport nearby, but concerned at the speed and rapid descent. It was a solid green ball and seemed to disappear prior reaching the horizon. This was an amazing few seconds, wished I had it on video
