Yesterday, 1/20/00 at exactly 6:00p.m., I observed a "green meteor"? falling from north to south in Columbus, Ohio. My wife and son and I were traveling west on Powell Rd. in north Columbus when I noticed the "object" at about 40 degrees elevation in the northwest sky falling south at a very rapid rate (faster than other "shooting stars" i've seen) to about 30 degrees elevation in the southern sky. The size of the object was x3 the size of Jupiter and was twinkling the color of the green light in a stoplight. It was probably just a meteor but it was a very cool meteor.
