| Name | Brandon L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw it in the Northwest sky at exactly 10:10pm CT while walking my dog. It was directly above my house, started in the middle of the sky (and white like a normal shooting star), then flashed and turned bright green (and got bigger) while shooting down and to the left toward the horizon. It was THE most beautiful thing I've ever seen in the sky!! |
