I was heading south on i787 and was about a quarter mile north of exit 5. From behind and to my left a bright moving light entered my peripherals well above the tree line and within a second or two continued forward and down below the tree line. I was in the driver seat and my girlfriend was in passenger seat. After catching this in my peripheral I asked if my girlfriend saw anything (without explaining what I saw). She described the same phenomena and put the term "shooting star" to it. Both of us have casual experience in astronomy and observation (attending a few open events a year) and a background in the science and engineering. Also I absolutely love this web application. I am a senior software engineer and if I can contribute in any way I would love to know
