Reports Report 4994d (Event 4994-2018)

Observer
Name Tracy R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving down Beltway 8 headed South towards the toll plaza 290. I saw this bright turquoise ish color light out of the corner of my left eye and I washed it streak across the sky and then burn out where I could not see the color any longer and went from blue and green and turquoise and color and it was the most magnificent beautiful thing I've ever seen. I have watched this guy's all of my life and have been outside for most meteor showers that have happened here in Texas or Oklahoma and I have yet to see and meteor. I was shaking and so excited I pulled over on the side of the road and posted it on Facebook at 6:07 p.m. so I am pretty sure that I witnessed this at 6:05 because it took me a couple of minutes to collect my thoughts. Unfortunately I was not able to capture any of this on video because I was driving home from work
