I have seen fireballs before and they have left glowing contrails and were mostly white. This one didn't leave much of an afterglow and was very green in color. It was awesome!

it was green until the flash at the end which was yellow and orange around the perimeter but still mostly green in the center. It appeared to have one smaller fragment that radiated away from the main flash at around the 5 o'clock position.
