This event was unlike any I've ever witnessed because it was so close in the sky (It was at the level that fireworks burst). Everyone in the car saw the fireball streak green then burst into blue before disappearing. I had prior knowledge that we were in the window for the Perseid meteor showers, so I assumed this was a part of it. Cool experience!
