| Name | Jim G |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I live at 5000 ft just east of the foothills of the Big Horn mountains. I was looking out my picture window so did not see the approach only the last few seconds and it appeared to be traveling straight down at that point. Due to being indoors did not hear anything even if there were a sound. I have only seen one larger and brighter fireball and that was about 18 years ago. It was green as well. I have been an amateur astronomer for most of my 68 years including planetary and a few deep sky photos, comets, solar, etc. |
