It was small at first, I almost told my son to make a wish...thinking it was a shooting star. Then all of the sudden it got bright and huge and green. It was like a green ball of fire dropping from the sky. I thought it was an airplane crashing because it was the direction of the AFB flightline. I asked the gate guard and she lookef at me like I was a crazy person.

I saw what I thought was a big shooting star at an angle, then it got huge and super bright and green and started dropping. It seemed like it was falling straight down and then it disappeared. It was in the direction of the Air force base flightline so I thought a small plane went down but there were no reports of that.
