I can't say that I've seen one like this before. I look like it partially broke up as it disappeared behind the treeline - convinced enough that I might find something that I took a drive on adjacent roads. I was in my car driving down the road and caught it coming straight down from top left of my field of vision. Honestly, the first thing I thought of was the Green Lantern had crashed because of the coloring. Very large and bright. Went down likely not more than a mile or so from me from the position and height of the trees in front of me.
