I was traveling north on 255 about 535 pm I was coming up on new poag road when I saw a white light from the east traveling west. I thought it was a plane at first then it got brighter and there were white trails behind it it kept getting larger then it seemed to burst into green and head down west of 255. I was in the car and didn't hear any noise.
