| Remarks | Very quick. I only saw a short, fat streak (because I wasn't looking that way at first, the light in my peripheral vision made me turn to see it). The final flash extended-out to at least double the width of the streak. Note: from my view, there is a lighthouse in the direction of the fireball. The fireball was bright enough and distinct enough (green) it drew my attention even though a lighthouse is in that direction. Very impressive! |
