| Remarks | I saw this meteor while I was driving. The light was first seen in the trees (so it was close to the horizon). I thought it was a very fast moving airplane but it was much, much brighter than typical aircraft lights. It was a very bright, light yellow color with a long tail. The sun hadn't gone down yet and the sky was clear and blue. I have never seen anything like this. It was amazing but scared the bejesus out of me ;) |
