This reminds me of the (formerly) well -known green fireballs that appeared mainly over New Mexico during the late 40's and early 50's. I witnessed the moon-sized 1954 fireball along with thousands of other people. It was bright green and traveled parallel with the horizon at what appeared to be a leisurely speed. One of the things was seen as late as 2007.

I don't believe the green fireballs came from outer space but they were "real" UFOs -- *unidentified* flying objects. Nobody seems to have a provable theory about what caused them but there's been endless speculation. Google "green fireballs New Mexico" or read the Wiki summary here: GREEN FIREBALLS
