Name | Frank M |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | It started out as a bright white shooting star, but then it appeared to slow down, then it turned bright green before it disappeared. I was driving south on I-270 just south of Big Bend and I saw it through my front windshield. Lots of cars hit their brakes when it happened so I know many people also saw it. |
