My adult son and I were driving home at 6:45pm local time when we spotted the meteor about 45 degrees in the sky. It was nearing sunset but still light out. The meteor appeared as a bright white glowing ball with a blue green ring around it. There was a short white tail behind the blue green color. We were able to follow the meteor until it went out of range behind some trees.
