Reports Report 467a (Event 467-2017)

Observer
Name Daniel H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I saw this when I was driving west headed to my home in Rochelle, IL. When I saw it, I thought it may have been some kind of a firework, but since it shot straight down I was confused by it. It left a huge streak in the sky, and it was very bright and green as it approached the horizon line in the distance.
