I was travelling West on Haggerty road when I saw to the NorthNorth west a green fire ball with a tail. It was about at the level of the trees as I was driving down the road and happened to come to a clearing to see it well enough. It exploded while in flight into about 4-5 different gold pieces. I was in my car with the radio on and did not hear any noise if there was any.
