This orange fireball suddenly slowed down and turned green, then suddenly dated off to the east.

I was driving to work heading North bound on I-35 around 23:00 hours. I was between Gardner and Olathe Kansas. Suddenly a orange fireball descended from the sky. I didn't realy think anything of it until this orange egg shaped glow suddenly slowed down and turned green. At that point I stared at it for a good 5 seconds and then it shot off towrds the east. I had a buddy who saw it driving in from another Highway. He said it looked liked a meteor. But he was to far away or I was to close to see it slow down in speed and turn green.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this individual, and he seemed to us to be a very credible witness. Please see other reports for this date and time.
