Occurred : 8/24/2017 02:30 (Entered as : 08/24/17 02:30) Reported: 8/29/2017 7:00:51 AM 07:00 Posted: 9/5/2017 Location: Knoxville, TN Shape: Fireball Duration: 1 seconds
A co-worker and myself, approximately 02:30 a.m. on lunch break...saw a green fireball, with a bright yellowish-center, and a white tail, falling in a diagonal direction \\\\\ straight to the ground, I'd guess less than a mile, right behind a small ridge in the landscape in front of us… we both said "you saw that, right...?" We BOTH got goosebumps, and I still do when I think about it, cause I know what I saw and I knew my co worker saw it too… ((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor, we suspect. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))
