This fireball landed a few hundred yards from where I was sitting. I was sitting facing west, turned to the north as I thought headlights were coming toward me. Then I noticed this brilliant white light streaming out of the east headed west. It had a green tail and looked like fire and flames behInd it
It faded as it feel to the ground
