Reported: 2009-10-17 20:34 Pacific
Duration: 1/2 second
No of observers: 1

Location: Maple Lake, MN, USA

Shape: Fireball


Green fireball north of Maple Lake, Minnesota

The object looked just like a roman candle (it was green), only it was too high in the sky, estimated at an altitude of 2000 feet. It traveled from south to north in a straight line. I was driving east and saw it out the drivers side window, looking almost straight up. It disappeared (burned out, like a meteorite) after traveling about 20 degrees (that is, assuming 180 degrees from horizon to horizon, it traveled a fraction of that). There were no sparks or a tail, just a bright green glow as if from a roman candle. I was in farm country and there were no houses nearby. A little background: I am a geologist (masters degree) who specializes in concrete analysis. 51 year old male. Sober and drug free.
