Lancaster, Wisconsin
I was driving about 10 miles northwest of Lancaster, Wisconsin and saw a large slow moving falling star. It had a large glowing ball in front and a long tail in the back. It seemed to hang in the sky as it travelled slowly to the northwest of Grant county and disappeared. It was at about 7:20 P.M. on March 1, 2011. Awesome. Viewed by Judie Barnes.

Thank you all for your kind reports!

Wow. I also saw a green meteor on Monday March 1st. Didn't check my specific time, but it was after 7 pm central time here in North Central Wi
near the Michigan border. Everyone's accounting of about 7:20 pm sounds right to me.
I was inside and a bright flash caught my attention and looked up to see in the NNW sky about 40 degrees above the horizon, a ball of green light streaking down towards the horizon......it left a great green trail behind it. I was amazed, and at first thought it might be a firework, but
the temps were close to single digits, so I ruled out people.
My first time to see such a brilliant ball of green!
