| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Keisa M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor appeared to be very large, bright light greenish blue with a long train that was glowing the same color but not as bright. It was over in a matter of seconds. Facing it, it appeared in my line a vision coming from my right and ending to my left. It was very large and not that high in the sky. I posted on the nextdoor app and at least two other people come forth and saw it too. It was around 8:20 pm on Oct 10th that I saw it. |
