I just thought it was unusually low and very bright and had a rather long tail. I was waiting for a sonic boom but never heard one.

Remarks
It was a constant glowing tail that was very bright green but had some yellow as if it were burning. Unusually long lasting, low and bright. I watch every meteor shower that I can. I have never seen one this long lasting and bright nor one this low. it was almost dusk.
