Meteor in dekalb county.

Just saw a very large one traveling east to west here at center hill lake. Largest I have ever seen it was very low and slow changed colors from blue to green. Seemed to interact with atmosphere. The size of the glow was about the size of a dollar coin at arms length.

I saw it too! Although it was kinda out of the corner of my eye. I thought it might be a shooting star but it was really bright. Wish I had caught a better view.

low and slow makes me think it's man made, prolly another starlink satellite coming down

I wonder why you down voted? Starlink burns orange though. I’ve been wanting to see one. Blue and green and moving slow could definitely be space debris though.
