Was the whole sky green or was it the trail of some reentering space junk?

Saw a meteor or space debris while driving some years back.

It was 'preceded' by a prolonged green flash that lit up the highway and the hills on either side.

I thought someone had fired a flare until I leaned forward and looked out the top of my windshield. Then I saw the object itself shooting off white sparks and leaving an orange trail.

As the Sun sets in the evening you see blue sky turn into red sky. In between, in the blink of an eye, you may see it turn to green ~ it'll look like a streak of green light.

You usually don't get a good look at it in humid atmospheric conditions. The air has to be exceptionally dry, and that's probably a rare event in the vicinity of Singapore.
