A green fireball going towards Granite Falls

I had just moved to the outskirts of Arlington where I had rented a trailer on a friend';s property. I had been in her home which is just next to the trailer. The property we are living on has a river running through it that is down below the home. Power wires go overhead.

As I had just returned to my house that night when another one of her boarders hollered at me so I went back to the door and was talking to him. He asks me to wait a minute so I did. Out of boredom I looked over to the left through the trees when to my surprise a large blue green fireball streaked by and disappeared over the hill. It was only about a mile away to my estimation. I fully expected to hear an explosion or see a fire but there was nothing. I yelled for ((name deleted)) but it was too late, it all happened much to fast.
