| Name | Mary G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was on a hill in Reservoir Woods, a natural area park in Roseville, MN, when the meteorite suddenly appeared. It dropped straight down, perpendicular to me. It looked like it went "out" maybe 30 feet from the ground - ?. I think it may have dropped into Reservoir woods. It reminded me of a large ember from a firework, falling straight down, very bright green with a glowing orange tip, and it made a very short fizzle noise. |
