Only logical explanation of what I witnessed was that it was a fireball. The sun was 20 minutes from setting and there was not much cloud cover. The green light across the sky was bright and moving extremely fast. Fragments of the green light were falling off as it came closer to the earth’s surface.
Are you able to let me know if others witnessed this fireball?
