This is the second time I have seen a green meteor. The last one was in the Northern sky. This one was even brighter and seemed closer.

Bright large white ball seemed to explode and then turned bright green line of smaller balls trailed down and went out. Whole thing seemed slow and lasted 3 to 4 seconds. Listened for a crash or boom, heard nothing but windows were closed.

Green line that dissipated into green balls that went out. Not sure of exact time. Approximate. Was laying down in bed, eyes cracked half asleep, and saw the bright ligh. Snapped me awake. Wow!
