Illinois Brilliant Blue/Green Meteor 8MAY2011

Montrose, Illinois Brilliant Blue/Green Meteor ~12:00+ am (midnight) 8MAY2011
I saw what I think was a meteor tonight on my way home from work. I live in Illinois and I was traveling southbound just north of a small town on I-70 called Montrose just after midnight this morning, may 8th, 2011. I saw a blue-green meteor that was traveling in what looked like a westward direction. I frequently travel this late at night and have seen similar objects before but they were always white, very small and very fast. This was much larger and slower and such a brilliant blue and green colored light. It looked like it was so close, like it may have landed within a mile of where I was! It was an amazing sight to see, I'm just not sure exactly what it was. It was almost like seeing part of a firework falling to the ground. -Bobby Miller
