My son was with me going to work. He is a lv 4 too. I was driving. He spotted it and told me to look. It took me a couple of seconds to find it. We watch meteror showers and have saw some good ones but We have never saw anything this big moving this slow with this much pure color before. The tail was the same color as the ball maybe a lighter green on the edges. I had to watch the road again but my son and a lady I work with both said it didn’t burn out it went out of sight.

Remarks
For the size of the ball, the tail seemed short. Not stubbed, but not real long. The tail went from the size of the ball to a short fat point
