Remarks my friend saw it southeast of town same time I did on northwest side. It was a fireball with a teal green tail. Seemed right in front of us as we drove. Then disappeared. Heard it was seen in Hondo, tx which is west of us 30 miles and the direction the fireball was going. Awesome sight. Never seen one so big.
