Observer
NameAnthony M
Experience Level4/5
RemarksIt appeared to be a bright green blue streak traveling from the northwest to the southwest. It seemed to wobble or spiral along its path. There was a bit of a trail that lasted maybe fractions of a second. It stopped in a bright white-yellow flash with a halo- like it exploded. It was very bright and easily visible in the sky with the sun just below the horizon. It appeared to come out of Gemini (not visible or barely visible stars) from the direction of Capella (clearly visible star at the time).
