Reports Report 3737cg (Event 3737-2016)

Observer
Name Bethany C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I observed this fireball when I was driving. A bright light to my left out the drivers side window caught my attention and it was at this time I noticed the green fireball which was visible for about 4 solid seconds until it disappeared. It appeared to be the same brightness as a single firework, but larger. My view was then blocked by trees so I was unable to see any "after effects".
