6 seconds duration. I was facing north, it traveled east. Bright white colour with a slight green hue. No sound, brighter than the moon. Small fragmentation, like sparks. I was facing directly north, it appeared offset to my right at about a 30 degree inclination, and travelled east, falling about 10 degrees. I lost sight of it after about 6 seconds.22 May 2013 - Gary Hanratty, Lurgan, Co. Armagh, N. Ireland 22:38 GMT
