Giant Green Meteor West of Gainesville Florida Caught on Dash Cam

Here's a cool dash cam video of a bright, green meteor that fell to Earth at @11:55 PM on Saturday. It was spotted in the night sky above northern Florida and was seen by many residents.

Great dash cam footage of meteor:

The bright teardrop-shaped meteor fell at about 11:55pm EST and eyewitnesses reported a five to six second descent, followed by a bright flash that lit up the sky like a firework.

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee said the fireball was picked up by a weather device used to track lightning in thunderstorms. The agency said they were still working to determine where the meteor may have landed, though it’s possible that it broke up in the atmosphere prior to making impact.

Very interesting, even before the footage is slowed down it doesn’t look to be traveling very fast for a meteor. I wonder why that would be?

I wonder why that would be?

That was a bad a$$ meteor. Didn't see the big flash at the end so maybe it made it all the way. Beautiful color too.

I think it is the angle of the video. It wasn't straight down based on the track. It just looked that way and it seemed slower.

Much like something headed toward the camera which looks up or down.

Man, that thing straight-up hit the deck,

A few quid sitting there for the right person with a metal detector, especially with the footage, 👌

I caught one last night in the side mirror of the fire truck last night driving back from a call. I’ll have to go back and see what time the run was. It was nothing like that but fragmented. I wonder if it was pieces of that thing? I saw it in the Eastern sky past Dallas Texas.
My reaction was not the same. Lol
Are we in the Orionids or one of those right now?

Thanks for sharing. Cool video. I had to look up why its green.

Curious how big it might have been. If Chelyabinsk was 66 feet, I think this would be maybe 10% as bright, so perhaps around 6 feet? But that’s a complete wild guess

Cool video for sure! I'm curious, when something like this happens, with dash cam evidence/general idea of location of where event happened, does the area quickly become inundated with meteorite hunters trying to determine its landing spot/find it?

Makes me wonder:

What color would a pure golden meteor be?

I saw that last night sitting on my porch! All the way up here in SC.

I just happen to look up when it happened. If I had not, I'd have missed it.

I would have had the same reaction as the guy in the video. LOL

Beautiful though!

It's not clear whether the meteor hit Earth or burned up in space.

The National Weather Service said it heard unconfirmed reports that the meteor landed near Perry, Florida, some 55 miles southeast of Tallahassee.

If someone thinks they found pieces of the meteor, scientists would need to run tests to determine if it is in fact a space rock.

Wouldn't it be lit if you spotted a meteor like this except there's a ground shaking rumble at the end equivalent to a low level earthquake?

Think of the excitement and doom pr0n feels you'd get wondering if it hit in a populated area and how powerful the impact was. It happened to the north and my ex-girlfriend lives in the next town in that direction!

The goosebumps, the adrenaline; you just experienced what appears to be a large meteor impact in your area. What're the odds? Better get home with some snacks and scour the internet.

How bright was your vantage point relative to the video we just watched? Cool event for you!
