It was beautiful. I almost cried!! I have never seen anything like it at all. This was no shooting star. This was something much bigger and outstanding. I cannot even describe the spectacle it was. I still can’t believe I saw it

Remarks
There was a huge light green hue in the sky first before anything, that’s what made me look and it lasted about two seconds before I saw what looked like a star trail ( if I had to describe what I thought I was seeing) approaching closer. Then all of a sudden this trail catches green fire and I see it get closer and closer blazing through the sky. It was a giant rock !! I could literally see the craters in it the view was impeccable and I’m so lucky
