Default Strange fireball

I was wondering if anyone else saw this. I look at the sky a lot, watch the Station, and
many of the satellites pass over (beginning with the Echo and Sputnik, when I was a
child). In fact, we bought our house for the relative absence of light pollution. We
wanted a home where we could observe without having to drive into the boonies.

Last night (Monday) around 9 pm (Central time zone), I noticed a bright white ball streak
across the sky. The ball was distinctly white, but the 'trail' it left was a bright green.
Did anyone else see this? Are there any resources to find out what this might have been? I
watch the meteor showers regularly, and have never seen one so big, and with such a bright
'head' and such a green trail. I am wondering what it was.

Any information would be appreciated.

Dee
