This was the first time I ever saw the green color. This was also among the top two for brightness....the other being a blue colored bolide back in the 80's in the rocky mountains while watching the Leonids.

Remarks
When it exploded was when it turned bright green and yellow. The streak of light went from being a solid white color like a regular shooting star (but...fatter) to exploding bright green with light yellow at the back part of the explosion.
