Reports Report 83b (Event 83-2014)

Observer
Name Wade D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The object caught my eye as it streaked relatively slowly past my living room side window on a parabolic path and then disappeared while it was still in view. It appeared to be perfectly round in shape and was a uniform bright emerald green in color with no variation. It was the largest, brightest "shooting star" that I have ever seen.
