I didn’t have to look up. It was eye level in front of me looking from my screened in porch. Saw it come down through the tree in front of me. Long green trail and ball on end then a flash as it descended into the valley below me.

I saw the flash but it I was sitting on a mountain brow and it dissipated into the valley below me. It was so close it was as if I could grab it in my hand! No exaggeration
