I was with some friends stargazing, in the late 80s. We were at a local forest preserve and had just finished setting up our telescopes, when a fireball lit up the sky like daytime in an eerie green glow for about 5 seconds. Haven’t seen anything like that since.
Yep, pretty try cool huh? Once in a lifetime for most. If I hadn’t been a smoker at the time, Ida likely not seen it. I thank smoking for the view lol j/k. The one I saw wasn’t green, more a bright white light. The treetops all lit up as it passed, turning night into day briefly.
