| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen meteor showers many times, however what I saw tonight I will never forget... What I saw looked about the size of a penny (if you were holding the coin in your hand at full arm extension towards the sky) and the object was glowing green, so bright the center seemed white. Towards the front of the object also seemed to glow white rather than green. Although I could see only 50% or less of the sky because I was in an alley, I caught a really good look for 1-2 seconds and it was like nothing I've ever seen before. |
