f

| Not able to determine shape until object ex-
ploded, then it was cigar shaped, about the

; | size of a grapefruit; brilliant white until
after explosion, then very vivid green which
; persisted for about 15 sec, then faded toa

white light. Object seemed to burn up aprox
10° above horizon.

Probably a type of meteor called a
bolide; one which was apparently very
large and persisted longer than usual.
