Im glad I was able to see this! I cannot believe it was seen in other states as it seemed it was just yards away from us! Truely amazing! I am also glad others reported this as my family was thinking I was a bit crazy as they were not able to witness it!

It was a long bright green-tealish color. It seemed to get brighter towards the head of it which was a orangish color with some white hues. Then it just seemed to explode and disappear! Unbelievable!
