Observer
NameKathleen V
Experience Level1/5
RemarksI was sitting at a stoplight when I saw this bright green shooting star (like) above and behind the traffic light. It started in my right field of vision and seemed to eventually fizzle out as it dropped lower in my left field of vision. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and couldn't explain it as anything else. It lasted so much longer than any shooting star I have seen.
