| Name | Melissa B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am in a valley. I am on 4th floor of Hyatt Place hotel facing the valley with window north side. I see Walmart out the window north. It went north to northeast of the Walmart and I-81, I-33 interstates. I have seen thousands of meteors. I have never seen neon blue with green hue. It was at least 5, maybe 6 seconds. I was on phone yelling in excitement. It was already dark, can't see smoke trail. Inside hotel, couldn't hear if there was a noise. I am open to talking with anyone, sending pics or whatever you want. |
