Observer
Name Maurice G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Astronomy fan but this was my first meteorite spotting. I recognized what it was after falsely thinking it was some sort of flare. But it moved too fast almost parallel with the highway I was traveling on and quickly went out. I looked for any type of green light that could of been a false reflection off my windshield, no light or reflection could of made what I saw. Came into my field of view on my left side and barely crossed into my field of vision before I focused on it.
