Observed from front passenger side of car. Vibrantly green with slight bluish character, visible approximately 3 to 3.5 seconds. The shape was teardrop with a fragmented wire-like red-orange trail approximately the same length as the teardrop itself. No terminal flash seen by me or my wife who saw it as well.
