Very cool experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen many before and always looking, I\u2019ve never seen one like this. So bright it startled me while driving and it lit my dashboard with light,\u201d observer AJ W reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat an unbelievable sight,\u201d Sebastian M from Pickering, Ontario said.<\/p>\n<p>Tiffany from Palmyra, Pennsylvania, said it almost looked like a green light from a plane that was heading on an arc to the ground. \u201cIt was too perfect in speed and curve, that I knew it wasn\u2019t a plane, it was a meteor, but I never saw one so green. It disappeared before it hit the ground. I was driving, and when I got closer to where it looked like it was, I didn\u2019t see anything on fire or smoking, so I figured it was a meteor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only four people reported a sound associated with the fireball, while some reported seeing flashes as the fireball blazed through the skies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"897\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/great-lakes-fireball-march-4-2025-heatmap-and-trajectory.webp\" alt=\"great lakes fireball march 4 2025 heatmap and trajectory\" class=\"wp-image-218218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/great-lakes-fireball-march-4-2025-heatmap-and-trajectory.webp 897w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/great-lakes-fireball-march-4-2025-heatmap-and-trajectory-300x288.webp 300w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/great-lakes-fireball-march-4-2025-heatmap-and-trajectory-768x736.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fireball over Lake Huron and Michigan on March 4, 2025 \u2013 trajectory and heatmap.
