Bright, neon-green fireball (or flare) falling towards ground slowly
Roughly Midnight, I was at a aircraft gate and saw what appeared to be a bright neon green flare appear out of nowhere and float slowly towards the ground (as if it was simply dropped out of a plane). This occurred roughly southwest of the airport, but still close enough to be on the airport property. The intensity is what I'd expect from a anti-missile flare from military aircraft.
The flare had a smoky white trail approx. ten times its own length (illuminated by the flare) as it fell.
Lost sight behind a building, appeared to have hit ground. Unable to investigate further.
I work daily at the airport and have not seen anything like this before. Upon reviewing the reports here, this appears to be happening regularly.
I will ask ATC @ the airport tomorrow about this
