object decended rapidly from above to ground in straight path. was very bright white with green flames. it did not look like typical shooting star-nuch brighter and different pattern of travel. it was close to ground and then my view was obstructed by trees and buildings. it appeared to fall right out of the sky. was in direction of Newark Airport and thought perhaps a piece of a plane fell off..but there was no fire...more of an eerie green flames. did not hear any noise.
