Many years ago (mid 1990's) I was driving home from my second shift job in Milford CT when suddenly there was a brilliant green streak if light seemingly at low altitude travelling south to north right above the highway. My first thought was "WOW - fireworks". Then quickly realized it was past midnight in the middle of January. No way it was fireworks, but surely the most brilliant meteor I would ever hope to see.
