There was a bright green meteor visible last night around 11:30PM

And I haven't been able to find any footage of it outside of one pretty shitty dash cam. I happened to have a front row seat viewing of this thing driving home last night through millis. I'm hoping someone else caught this thing on camera. It was apparently visible all the way from Boston to Vancouver. The link below are all of the reports- it seems like western MA was the closest to it.

Do you have a link to the dash cam footage, out of curiosity?

Thanks for sharing! Whoa, I've definitely never seen anything like that in the night sky. Very dramatic!

I know there has to be a better view on someone’s camera somewhere, but I haven’t seen it yet. My view of it was spectacular

Was it the green comet that's been in the news for a couple of weeks?

No, that’s not visible to the naked eye at the moment. Also comets do not look like a “fireball”, they appear basically stationary.

happens on rare occasion - at the last glimpse of sunset a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives without ever seeing it, some claim to have seen it who ain't and some say that it signals when a souls comes back to this world from the dead
