First green bolide for me. Approximately 7:45-46 pm (central time) Driving west of Offerle KS on westbound U.S. Hwy. 56. In my left peripheral I notice a green brightening glow. I immediately turn my head southward and notice a intense green streaking lighting up the hazy overcast pearcing through with a green burning fireball in the lead. It brightened into a flash with small fragmentation then dimmed quickly.
