This was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in the sky. It lasted about 2-3 seconds. Much longer than a shooting star. Did not look to burn off but only disappeared over the horizon. I have never seen something streak through the sky at a red color and then instantly change to a bright green, almost like a fighter jet turn on its afterburners.
