A large, green ball of fire fell out of the sky over Chicago, viewed from just North of the city
A large, green ball of fire was observed from a rooftop just North of the Chicago Loop along Lake Michigan.
While looking at the skyline to the South, a large green ball with a small tail appeared and travelled at a 30-45 degree trajetory (down and to the right), disappearing from view behind the BP skyscraper. The object made no sound and was observed by 2 people.
It seemed characteristic of a meteor, except that it appeared MUCH larger than any previously seen by the observer.
The object appeared to be 1/4 to 1/2 the diameter of a full moon.
