green fireball shaped object

I was out stargazing at about 11:30 eastern time with my binoculars it was a clear night in a new remote spot I found outside the city. I actually was able to asee the milky way.

Anyway I was looking up w my binoculars in a star cluster i saw what I thought to be a satelite. while I took the bioculars away from my face to see the object with my naked eye i lost sight of it it was heading north way in the atmosphere. It was starting to get cold I went in my truck to put on another shirt as i closed the door and walked back to my observing position I saw a huge green fireball like object very luminous object at a low altitude maybe 1000ft or less heading north I do not know what it was but it was not a meteor but it was breathtaking to say the least…
