In the western sky a fireball the size of a baseball fell. First it was white, then red and then green

I am a long distance truck driver with a 4 year college degree. I was travelling south on I-83 out of Harrisburg towards my next destination when I observed, in the western sky, a fireball the size of a baseball held at arms length. It was first a bright white and then it changed to red and finally to green before it disappeared. I had to keep my eye on the road so I don't know if it disappeared over the horizon or faded out. This was witnessed by other truck drivers as they were all discussing it over the CB
