| Remarks | Northwest sky, about 2040hrs on April 9, 2022. It last 5 to 10 seconds. I thought a first a roman candle off in the distance. It went from bright to dim, definitely a meteor. I have saw a few meteor showers over the years. I was driving west and it appeared off to my right in my front windshield. The dark sky with that bright green color caught my eye. The object traveled I would say about a 2 o'clock position to about an 8 o'clock position where it faded away. |
