| Remarks | I was stunned when I saw this as I had never really observed any unique kind of astrological phenomena. The green colouring and speed were truly unique and upon researching fireballs, there is no doubt of what it was. I have to mention that this site says NOT to bring up recurring events as they're so rare. But 14 days later exactly, I saw the same thing at 10:00PM. 100% a fireball, same green colouring, same phenomena. It lasted 1 second and exploded midair with fragmentation. This was from the same viewpoint but a different angle and direction of approach. I am truly shocked that I was able to observe this rare and beautiful event twice in such short time span... |
