I sent a message on facebook to Nasa Meteor Watch but have not recieved a reply. It is the largest & brightest "shooting star" that was green in color I have ever seen that looked like it caught on fire and was still burning when I lost sight of it when it disappeared into the tree lines of the horizon. I was driving on the interstate I-380 southbound and could not get to my phone in time to record it. The University of Iowa is only about 15mins south east of where I saw this and don't know if anyone there would have cameras setup for things like this.
