I was just driving with my dad home and i saw a huge ball of light that looked like a star but it was bigger and it shot through the sky like a star but it was shooting downwards. It moved for maybe five seconds before i saw a flash of green light and it vanished. Happy to know it was a meteor and not aliens lol. Tampa Florida 9:20pm -Sarah Thank you Sarah!
