Out with my new telescope and two kids to look at Saturn and Mars to the west. Saw this about 8:20. It was north of Saturn on the horizon about 45 degrees high. Up to down descent. Vanished below trees on horizon. 5-10 second duration. No sound. Minimal smoke trail. Bright as a flare. Green in color.
