Observer
Name n a
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball appeared as a fireworkvat first because of the greenish color. It went from east to west at approx a 45 degree angle downward. The time might be a little off because it was two days ago and I did not look at the clock when it happened. Appeared for approx 2-3 seconds out of no where and then disappeared
