Driving east on US 30 about 20 miles west of Upper Sandusky , OH
Meteor fell in a pretty sharp descent (almost straight down) from east to west at a relatively slow speed. It had a very bright green fireball, which was the largest I have ever seen. That made it appear to be so close that I was sure I would see an impact. It lasted only a few seconds before it went out or disappeared on the horizon north of my vehicle.
About an hour later I saw another one from my house. It was a small, fast-moving, yellowish-white trail moving from east to west at about a 45-degree angle. It lasted about 3 seconds.
