Reports Report 2908alv (Event 2908-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | David B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My view of the event was very short, just a few seconds. The meteor looked as if it was coming almost straight down, but slightly angled west to east. I didn't see any tail or trailing objects just the white explosion of sparks and then the green halo around that point in the sky that lasted a few more seconds. I really thought it was a fireworks shell someone had set off, and it was just visible above the tree line. |
