Reports Report 4088j (Event 4088-2025)

Observer
Name Matt R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving home. Looking straight ahead, the green streak came down directly from the top of my windshield towards the horizon line. I lost sight of it once it got low enough to be behind trees (in my field of vision). This is the second time I've seen a greenish meteor trail in my life.
