Remarks
The meteor was bright green with a glowing train that just appeared bright white. I was driving north on Hwy. 321 and it appeared that it shot across the highway in front of me. It appeared much larger and much closer than other falling stars that I have seen. My husband was in his vehicle following my vehicle and he saw it too.
