My husband and I were heading home with the kids and saw it. We were
on Alma School Rd. between Guadalupe and Elliot. I thought that
someone had lit a firecracker that didn't explode properly because of
the greenish color. But my husband said no, it was a meteor. We have
never seen one so bright before, especially when you consider all the
light pollution in town. It sparked quite a lively conversation with
our girls on the way home.
