Observer
Name Adriana B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving west on I-94 from St Paul to Minneapolis. The fireball was bright green and was moving relatively slow. I first noticed it in the upper part of my windshield. It was descending towards the horizon straight ahead. It disappeared above the horizon and behind some thin clouds. No big explosion or any larger flash, it just disappeared.
