On my way to work, around 4:45am on 3/7/18, traveling west bound I-90. I saw a bright green light shoot across the sky, from north to south. It was bright green and circular in shape.
It moved fast but not quite as fast as a shooting star. It also had no visible tracer or trail behind it. It lasted just a few seconds before it disappeared behind some mountains. Did anyone else see this??? Possible meteor?

Hi Peter,
The object was traveling slightly more in the south east direction. Hard to tell as I was rounding a curve on the freeway.
This object seemed to be larger than the size of a star in the night sky, but much smaller than the size of the moon. The object was also about the altitude of a aircraft (or higher) as it flew out over the cascades and disappeared out of my sight. It didn't seem to be ascending or descending but more of a straight level path across the sky.
It also had no fragments tailing behind. It was almost an orb type ball of light. It left no visible trailings or tracers behind it. It did not appear to be a fire ball, as to what most people report as meteors. It didn't seem to fizzle out or burn up. It simply just flew out of my view when it went past the foot hills.
Seemed very odd and gave me an uneasy feeling, along with goosebumps.
I hope this helps describe the event.
I am happy to answer any other questions you may have.
Thank you,
