At first I thought it to be metiorite but as it entered atmosphire it left a very bright bluegreen glow instead of white like most metiores then the light faded out for a half second then there was a fairly bright burst of red at the end then it burned out or something. I could hear a faint hissing sound as it came down it did leave a smoke trail or comtrail. It was a very beautiful sight.I was facing the east southeast It came down from about 1 oclock high to 8 oclock thats about it.
