NUFORC Sighting 66850

Occurred: 2008-11-10 22:40 Local
Reported: 2008-11-11 10:24 Pacific
Duration: 1 second
No of observers: 1

Location: Nashville, TN, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail, Changed Colo

Object fell from sky vertically leaving trail of sparks behind it -- changed from green to yellow-white as it entered atmosphere.

While driving home I saw what at first I thought might be a shooting star glittering down from the heavens. Upon reflection, I thought it might be falling 'space junk.' The object was 45 degrees above the horizon, just above the treetops. The trail, from my perspective was a bit longer and closer to earth than the standard shooting stars I've seen. The object entered green/orange and turned yellow-white. The trail disintegrated/disappeared as quickly as it appeared. It was in the southern sky.
