| Remarks | For a site hoping to get information from amateurs, this one sucks. You assume way too much knowledge on the part of those of us who happened to see something and want to be helpful. Fireball travelled from east to west, and went black not far above the horizon. It change colors significantly as it went along, ending as an irridescent green. Trail behind it lasted 1 - 2 seconds and was a variety of colors -- yellow - red - green - purple. When it first appeared, I thought someone was shooting a roman candle. |
