Among the Northern lights a bright green fireball from West to East

It was early this a.m, still very dark, the Northern lights were very very vivid in the sky. My son and I were attracted to their beauty, when all of a sudden a large green looking fireball zoomed across the sky. It went from west to east towards the mountain behind our home. We have never seen such a large object in the sky and the color was green but very bright.

NUFORC Note:

Probable meteor. Many other reports. PD
