| Remarks | The fireball appeared in the east as a slow orange light. We thought it must be a plane because it was moving so slowly. It was slow for 3 seconds and then sped up changing to a green color. Once green, it sped up like a shooting star streaking to the northwest. At about 8 seconds, there was a flash and then it was gone. |
