BRIGHT, NEON GREEN FIREBALL OBJECT STREAKED ACROSS THE SKY; SIGHTED FROM THE HIGHWAY, NEAR DFW AIRPORT IN EULESS, TEXAS, USA.

A GREEN FIREBALL STREAKED ACROSS THE SKY. APPEARED TO BE A NORMAL METEOR, BUT THE COLOR WAS VERY BRIGHT NEON GREEN; THE SIZE OF THE OBJECT WAS FAIRLY BIG. MAYBE ABOUT 1/4 THE SIZE OF THE MOON. SAW THIS OBJECT ON THE WAY HOME ONE NIGHT, JUST DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, NEAR DFW AIRPORT. I HAD HEARD ABOUT THESE 'GREEN FIREBALLS' BEFORE, FROM A FRIEND, AND TWO REPORTS FROM MY FATHER, WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. ONE FRIEND SAW A COUPLE OF THEM WHILE LIVING NEAR HOUSTON, AND MY FATHER REPORTED SEEING TWO NEAR DALLAS. ALL OF THE DESCRIPTIONS I'VE HEARD INVOLVED SEEING THESE OBJECTS AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME; ABOUT MIDNIGHT OR 1 IN THE MORNING, WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH MY OWN SIGHTING. NO OTHER ODD ACTIVITY THINGS ABOUT THE OBJECT, BUT IT DID LEAVE A BRIEF TRAIL AS ANY METEOR WOULD.
