Was driving to work headed south and saw what looked like a huge shooting star. But then noticed was lot bigger and burned longer! The big ball was really bright, the tail was fairly long with what appeared to chunks breaking off as continued was a greenish yellow . It didn’t get smaller or burn out. I lost it in the hedge row while driving.

Looked like when welding. You have your main arc of the weld and then you have the those fragments coming off the weld like imported that pop off.
