I was driving home when I got excited because at first glance I think im seeing a shooting star but quickly realized that it was different from anything iv seen before. It appeared closer and the star part was green it shot across from the upper left of the sky and appeared to head down word then it like exploded into three pieces which fell then disappeared. Sort of reminded me of iraq when i was deployed. Anyways iv never seen anything like it especially green.
