Green fireball in Western sky leaving trail and then exploding
I caught a green mass out of the corner of my eye in the Western sky moving at a very fast rate of speed. I walked around the corner of the house to look at the West sky. At that time, I saw the green light getting brighter and just then, a green flaming mass appeared traveling South to North.
The mass had a tail following it and I watched it travel for approximately 5 seconds. At that time, it exploded, much like a firework. As it exploded, debris extended in all directions. At that time, the entire light disappeared.
The stream of light was the entire Western sky, as far as I could see from South to North. It looked to be about as high as a jumbo jet airliner would fly but much larger, perhaps 6 jumbo jets put together in size. The light was more of a light fluorescent green. I have witnessed many shooting stars and this was unlike anything I have ever seen. The green color was very vivid and sharp.
((NUFORC Note: We suspect that the object may have been a meteor. Other reports. PD))
