| Name | Claudia B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting at my deck facing my living windows,two stories up. Saw it out one of the windows. Knew it was not one of the small planes from Fitchburg Airport. It was going in the wrong direction and was bright and going faster then the planes do. This is not the first time that I have seen a meteor, about five plus years ago I saw one heading from East to West out the same windows as tonight and it was green in color. Never heard if anyone else saw it. Just find it interesting when I see these meteors and wonder where it may have landed. |
