This was by far the largest meteor I have ever seen. I am 53 years old and have seen many meteor showers. But nothing ever like this.

The sky glowed green at first. Then I saw the fireball. It fragmented into one small streak which was lower than the huge Fireball above it. I was driving a semi and couldn't hear anything.
