Name | Kate C |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | As I was driving north on FM2247 (Comanche Co. TX), this fireball appeared low in the NW sky. It appeared to be emerald green oblong shape, burning at both ends with yellow/orange flames. Because of its oblong shape, I first thought it may be an aircraft. The duration of its visibility was enough for me to make out shape and color details. It disappeared behind trees before I was able to witness any other details. No sounds, as my windows were rolled up. |
