I doubt I saw the same thing but on Friday night I caught a large fireball in the corner of my eye as I turned around. It made a green flash at the end and at first I thought it was distant lightning but looking for a while there was no more and there hadn't been a storm around.

I have missed seeing 2 now where I was facing the wrong way. One day!

Greg.
