Remarks |
Most of what I saw was not captured on video but I had a very good look at out of the drivers side window. It got my attention because of how bright it was. It was lighting things up enough to see the outlines of trees in the distance. |

Remarks |
The Meteor was bright white when it approached from behind. It broke apart above my truck into 4 pieces. The pieces were giving off a green colors with blue smoke. |

Observation |
Yes |
|
Remarks |
It approached from behind as one object. It flashed bright white before splitting into four pieces. Two larger objects with a smaller one in the middle and front. When it split is slowed down significantly with the trailing larger object slowing down the soonest. It starting to emit the green color from each piece. The four pieces were connected with a blue glowing trail while still having a bright white trail behind the whole thing. The reason I turned my head to look at it was because it was emitting enough light before breaking apart to light up the night, similar to having a thunderstorm behind you with lightning except the light was constant. |
