Observer
Name Andy B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was traveling south on I-5 when I saw what I thought was a giant meteor but it was greenish in color and appeared to have a flaming tail/trail. It lasted a couple seconds and from where I was driving it was tracking towards downtown Seattle at a westward angle. I’d never seen anything like it
