Many years ago -- probably early 80s or thereabouts -- I was on the boathouse and saw a huge greenish fireball fall, seeming to land on the other side of Rattlesnake. It was one of the most magnificent things I've ever seen. But that was also probably hundreds of miles away. But what a show!
I just checked online and couldn't find anything specific, but did find this link. If you scroll down a bit, it shows the recent meteorites...it is updated to April 9, so in a few days it may list what you saw. ;-)

I wasn't going to write until I saw your writing the "green" fireball. I figured people would think I was crazy (well, that's beside the point). about 2 years ago I was driving in Nashua in the summer around dusk. All of a sudden, in the clear skies ahead, a green fireball, very bright with a very long tail, streaked across the sky. It lasted for the longest time. Probably one of the coolest things I had ever seen. I remember trying to tell people about it but it was hard to describe...almost unbelievable. I think I remember reading something about it in the paper a couple of days later about a meteor landing in someones backyard in or around Concord or Manchester. When I say meteor, I mean it was the size of a small rock by the time it made its way to earth.
