US and Canada

Lawndale, North Carolina video captures a meteor at 2155 EDT
Note- Video capture is of a meteor event at 2155 EDT and eight or more witnesses reported 2145 or slightly earlier; so it still may be that two events occurred?   There is only 1 report from Davidson, NC matching within a minute of the video time and that report was in NC and not far from the Lawndale, NC Allsky station. At this time I am still of the opinion that two events happened.

"The green fire ball or whatever it was at about 735 on 9/28
I saw it with 2 adult witnesses, one a partial view. Also a child saw it at a birthday party we were all at. I tried to file a report but it wouldn't let me. Possibly because I am on a cell but I hope this gets to the right source.  The object looked like a green flame. Very bright. Super super fast. No sound. We all agree it was no plane and nothing any of us have ever seen before. It was so fast we barely had time to see it before it disappeared into the mountains. It took possibly 3-4 seconds to cross the horizon?" Kristin

動画は次の所に掲載しました。ここへの投稿はサイズを気にしなくても良いそうでですが、やはり一人が大容量を使うのは気が引けますので、、
