After the second flash of light the object and is yellow trail were gone. Heading eastbound on i 70 passing through Frederick md @ approximately 4:35 am a friend and I witnessed a very bright green object with a very very long yellow trail falling from the sky north of Frederick. The green object flashed once bright like lighting and then a second time even brighter then the first and it was gone. Any idea what it was?
