Object with blueish tail impacts NW of Lewistown Montana

A Green, blue and orange surrounded by haze object about the size of a small car with a blueish tail streaked across the the sky and seemed to impact approximately 10 to 15 miles northwest of Lewistown Montana. Shortly thereafter 2 helicopters and one fixed wing jet appeared in the area. The object made no noise that I am aware of as it moved.

Howver it did move in a linear fashion. (meteor?)
