I am a pilot and have had a beginning astronomy class decades ago. This was very different from anything I have ever observed. Reminded me of the meteor videos of several months ago in Russia and elsewhere although not of that durations although the brightest may have been similar it was probably nowhere near that but was the most notable of anything I have ever experienced.

The light lit up the bedroom with my eyes closed. As I looked out to see what it was as light from the north is unusual, I saw a green ball of light go out as it was coming straight down.
