Observer
Name mitchell B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The fireball itself was mainly green and super bright! I was with friends on a football field and it appeared as though there was an intense flashlight shining across the field at us. The fireball had a long thin trail that was very bright as well. The fireball was traveling from up to down very low on the horizon.
