The lady on KOSA FB stated that 'it' turned horizontal (she saw color I recall .. green or blue maybe?) and that it then exploded into a disappearance. My friend also thought it was merely fireworks. I saw something that was not fireworks - meteor? No planes were reported blowing up that I recall and then to have it just poof and it is gone? It's the end of 2014 and thinking back recalling that night with meteor or fireball, etc. plus seeing a report of one recently sighted up north in which I saw the name of your society was posted ... this is why I'm only now writing. I am wondering if anyone else reported the experience? Thank you

Remarks
I walked outside looking down at the ground and the ground lit up like day. Then the light dimmed as I was turning my head up to see what was in the sky (thinking it was fireworks) and saw it continue to streak across the sky then poof - just gone. Someone reported on FB KOSA Channel TV 7 asking if anyone saw it and a friend across town said she saw it too. The lady on KOSA FB asking if anyone had seen had a different and more detailed version than I did.
