Why has there been heightened activity this month? Someone suggested that because it was green, it meant that the object had a high amount of nickel. Was it a fallen satellite?

Remarks
All we saw was a bright blue flash that took up the night sky. It was unbelievable! We were sitting on our front porch (which faces east) and couldn't identify what we had witnessed. We did not hear any accompanying sounds.
