A large glowing green fireball.

While driving on I40 east,I saw a huge glowing green fireball,that was so bright and clear I could see dark "veins?" on its exterior surface and it appeared to be pulsating. It left a long grayish green jet trail. I never saw where it went as there was like an explosion to the south that lit up the forest with a green glow. I compared the explosion to the smoke of a shuttle launch. I heard only 2 other voices on my CB radio(I am a truck driver)who saw this. One was as excited as I was and he also saw the same thing and was amazed that the entire cab of his truck was illuminated too. The other voice had no emotion or excitement in it and all he said was that was a meteorite.
