My exact location is not known. I know we were on 71 west heading west towards Marble Falls somewhere near Spicewood Springs. I believe we had just passed Spicewood.This thing hit somewhere around there close. We had seen something bright entering the atmosphere about 10 miles back before we saw this huge green fireball and saw the end of it. This leads me to believe it was the same object and was not moving at a very fast rate of speed. From other reports of this green fireball on this date I believe we saw the very end of it.
