Several years ago, I and fam decided to take in a meteor shower from lawn chairs on the front yard.......after about 30-45 minutes I was the only one left who wasn't bored and found something else to do...........

Suddenly, out of the north came a florescent green object, a light green streak trailing behind. As best I could tell, it was the size of a 1990s cell phone or smaller, about 35 feet off the ground and going about 60 plus miles per hour.............

It was making cracking and popping sounds as it flew within 15 yards from where I was sitting.........I didn't hear it hit anything, so it must have gone quite a ways more and hit on someone else's property........

Sometimes it’s worth the wait.

I’ve seen some spectacular ones myself. I saw one like you did once but it was in the dead of winter. I just happened to be outside for a minute, going from the car to the house, and looked up to admire the sky and zzzzzzzzzzttttttt, fizzled out right above the neighbors house.
