| Name | David R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter witnessed this as well, although the bright green color had subsided, by the time she saw it, she did see all the bright orange/yellow trailing it. We do go out often to observe meteor showers, very dark at our location, this is by far, the brightest we have ever witnessed. At first we thought of a bright firework, such as a Roman Candle I would say, but again, it was not ascending, it was on a descent. |
