Nothing extra important other than the fact that this was definitely a meteor in my opinion. I have never seen one this size and with a green ball like I did. Hope this all helps!

Remarks
After the sky had flashed green and the ball dissapated, there was a white sparkling trail behind! It was kind of similar to a fire work except it was very fast and came downwards from the clouds. Very interesting trail left behind
