At first I thought it was a firework but there were a few thin clouds overhead that were illuminated by it from above. Was surprised to hear it fizz overhead. And it was really 100% overhead.

Remarks
I heard a noise and looked over my right shoulder and saw the fireball streak directly overhead. The meteor was glowing green and trailed a light yellow/white glowing train. There seemed to be a momentary persistent smoke trail after it went out.
