Reports Report 4424ht (Event 4424-2022)

Observer
Name Jim R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was amazing! Bright with minor fluctuations in intensity. Color change from white to green was stunning. I think my jaw dropped. I thought possibly somebody had fired a roman candle firework over I95 but the trajectory was too flat and I later saw reports in the Washington Post of a meteor sighting that agrees with the time I saw this one within one minute. I was traveling South on I95 and had just gone under an overpass when I saw it. I checked the time (9:56pm). The next mile marker I saw was 31.x. Weather was overcast with on-and-off rain.
