A massive meteor was spotted last night (April 15) across the DMV around 10:55 PM. Twitter users from Manassas, VA to Baltimore, MD reported seeing the meteor and "green flame" that trailed it streak across the sky.
The meteor was visible for about 10 seconds, starting with a bright white light that quickly turned to a greenish hue before it disappeared.
Apparently we are in the midst of the Lyrid meteor shower which happens every year. The period of the shower began Tuesday and is expected to peak early next week, so it's possible one or more additional meteors will be seen in our area.
