Observer
Name barbara s
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving 78 East bound right before the Clinton Station Diner when I saw the light neon green meteor that looked like missiles to me at first. It seemed very low to the earth like right a low plane in front of me. It lasted a long time before I couldn't watch it anymore as it crossed the highway south out of my line of vision.
