Had just been commenting about the meteor shower I missed over the weekend. I'd seen one other bright florescent green meteor years ago during one of the large shower events. This is only the second time i've seen this and it was just as spectacular, including the bright green color. This time I had a larger horizon and therefore length of travel visible to me.

Remarks
Train was how I decided it was a meteor. After seeing the bright green DOT in the sky for a bit, it fell lower in the horizon with the lighter green trail following... meteor disappeared about 20-30 degrees above horizon and trail remained for a second then disappeared
