| Remarks | my mom is an expert meteor observer & she is the one who told me what i saw. also, i was in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago & the location i provided is an approximation of its location. it looked to be above Midway Airport (in that direction) & at first i thought i was witnessing a plane crash (even tho the green didn't make any sense in that explanation). it was really incredible & actually scary - it turned orange so close to the horizon line, I was expecting a shock wave. |
