I have seen hundreds of quote and quote falling stars but this was nothing like a falling star this was more like something you would see in a Hollywood movie Never Have I witnessed anything like that in the wilderness ever I grew up on a ranch working outside and hunting all my life never seen anything close to what I witnessed the other night, nothing!
it had to be huge to last that long and I've never witnessed a meteor that had the vibrant colors green almost like blue even before it exploded I'm so glad I got to witness something like that of a lifetime truly amazing.
I can't imagine what people thought one or two or three to five hundred years ago!

. Bright green glowing light streaking across the sky and as it hit the Horizon I saw it like get really bright like it was exploding I told my son that thing hit landfall somewhere in Michigan.
I sent mark my words I spend a million hours in the woods I've seen shooting stars but nothing as magnificent as what I just witnessed it will be on the news. He says does that mean we have good luck for the year I had to laugh of course it does.

What I saw was a green ball of light streaking the sky a green ball of light Grew in size ( l couldn't believe it was still lasting as long as it was )till it hit the horizon and then became ultra bright like an explosion I want to say I heard the sonic boom but I figured that was just my subconscious promoting what my eyes were witnessing my brain was teasing me I thought when I heard what sounded like an a jet taking off that's the best way I can describe what I thought I heard a rumbling jet across the sky
It was truly one of the most unbelievable sightings I witnessed in my life it was totally by luck I went out to get the keys out of my truck my truck was locked I had to go get my phone and use the app to unlock my phone to get the keys out it was then that this green ball of light appeared in the southeast sky and begin streaking across the sky fallen sharply towards the horizon straight east of my location.
I mean directly in front of me it was awesome
