This object was very bright and the angle was very low 30 to 35 tops it was fast the flash and halo that became a cone tail was amazing - it was intense blue like a gas burner tipped with a very bright green much like the northern lights. There was a visible matter or particles in the stream bright white but not near a bright as the main body. These smaller objects slowed rapidly and fell out of the stream in a halo. My friend and my self lost visual as it traveled behind buildings to the north the trail glowed for a short time we did not see any vapor trail or other visual after that
