Observer
Name Paul B
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Sent this to my neighbors: "Anyone else see that green fireball traveling northwest? I've never seen anything like it. Only in videos. Biggest meteor I've ever seen. Sitting on my couch and it caught my eye out back long enough to turn my attention and still see it another couple seconds. Had to have been 3-5 seconds long, big streak, and green. Wild."
