| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was beautiful and the most amazing natural event I have seen. It looked so close. Phosphorescent green/slightly blue. It started out looking like a bottle rocket (a large one!) but against the sky, and if I held out my arm as if to hold it, it would have been the size of a billiard ball and it's total length would have been about 15 inches. It traveled across the sky for about two to three seconds, then it disappeared. I didn't notice any disintegration, just disappearance. |
