Reported: 1998-12-06 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 4 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Columbus, TX, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

Was heading back to Houston Tx, when I saw a green fireball streak across the sky from west to east. Only it sorta dashed across like so ----- then it was gone. Seen lots of shooting stars but never one that ----- across the sky.

Had just finished delivering a load of gas at the Texaco station in Columbus Tx, and was heading back to the rack in Houston when my attention was caught by a green fireball sorta streaking or rather skipping across the sky. Never seen one do that before so I thought I report it to you.
