I’ve seen plenty of shooting stars in my day but this was a completely different experience. The light was blue/green. It was more of a soar than a quick flash and it seemed to be decenting at fairly slow rate and then it just disappeared. Over all the flash was only about 4-6 seconds long but I’ll never forget it!

Almost light a large blue/green flare soaring falling out of the sky. Not necessarily flickering but it was brighter at moments.
