Remarks Glowing streak with large head and trail followed from West to East. I was driving on I-5 Southward towards Stockton. I have never witnessed something like this so was unsure what it was until I found this site. So glad to see others have posted too. It was extremely bright even though it was cloudy/foggy. At first it was a mild light behind the clouds which I thought was strange because it was green. Then it got larger and large and swooped to the left ( east) very quickly and this is where I was able to see the large head and tail that followed. PRETTY AWESOME!!
