| Name | John G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving northbound on the road roughly 45 mph, from Davis to Woodland, where I approximatd my location at seeing the fireball. The surrounding area was very foggy. I could not tell how far away it could have been, just that it was up in the sky to my left. My initial thought was someone shooting a firework that I only saw the descent of, not shooting up However, the angle was too sharp, the descent too fast, and it was so high that my next thought was a satellite, except the color was green which freaked me out a bit! |
