| Remarks | i had been sleeping woke up and was looking at tv. the tv is in front of a window and then suddenly i saw this fairly big bright greenish yellow ball come down from the sky towards the ground, and then just disappear ,much bigger than a shooting star. Never saw anything like it, but my son had told me about fireballs and I thought that's what it had to be. It looked like a firework, like a Roman Candle ball only big. really beautiful and a little scary |
