Observer
Name Christopher B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was traveling on I64 east bound in Kentucky between Simpsonville and Shelbyville. It began as a light meteor track and then erupted into a green ball of flame. As far as I could tell, some of it made it to the ground. It disappeared below the tree line on my left hand side.
