I was southbound on the Wantagh Pkwy just north of Sunrise Hwy. The meteor appeared from the west and burned up eastbound in a very bright green hue. I've been lucky enough to see my fair share of meteors in my life and that was the first green one I can remember seeing. It was wild!

I was driving at the moment but, I was able to see it breaking up. So fast, so amazing. It lit up the sky pretty good.
