Reports Report 2908amu (Event 2908-2014)

Observer
Name Melinda C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks When I first saw it I thought it was a fireworks rocket or flare coming down. The colors were so bright red and green. As it disappeared I began to realize that it was probably a meteorite. When I got home I told my husband that I had seen it. The next day I saw it on our local news cast... Pretty cool to have gotten to see it (just lucky)!!! The colors were so bright RED behind and bright GREEN up front. Very striking colors.
