We saw a green flash with a firey tail in the sky

We were outside in the front of the house sitting on the front stoop watching my children and their friends play team tag. I saw a green flash with a tail in the southwest direction in the sky. It moved in a very fast south west and downward direction. It was too big to be a firework but I thought it was perhaps a shooting star because it seemed to have a firey trail.

My girlfriend Jen saw it as well and asked if I saw it. I said I did and I told her I thought it was a shooting star.

We didn't call anyone at first because we thought it was a shooting star. It appeared and was gone in a matter of seconds.
