Lights in the sky

Last night, when I was walking to my trailer, I saw a fiery object in the sky. It was blue and green with a yellow tail. Around here, we see many things at night, but they are usually going up. Tracers are usually red and go up in short bursts. Rockets only burn for a few seconds and then coast the rest of the way, so they are usually invisible. Mortars—well you never see those. Parachute flares look like very bright stars and if you look closely, you can see the smoke coming off of the flare. Those flares are used for illumination and are usually associated with fire fights, so you typically hear the popping of small arms way off in the distance. What I saw was falling to Earth instead of going up, so I’m fairly sure it was a shooting star—that and there was no boom when it landed.
