| Remarks | I saw another big meteroite in Boise Idaho many years ago. This one seemed brighter, but the other one was in the daytime. This object moved slowly accross the sky, like a helicopter only a quarter to a half mile off. It initally looked white, then elongated and changed to white and green, then broke apart and turned white, green and orange. |
