Bright, star-like object traveled slowly across very large portion of sky, leaving green/teal glowing streak and hazy cone of light behind.

An small, star-like object (possibly a rocket?) was seen traveling slowly accross the southwest portion of the sky. It had a very large, bright, glowing cone of light trailing behind it that faded after a few minutes. There was also a long, thick, greenish-teal streak that trailed behind it. After the light cone faded away, the object continued to travel northwest while the green streak grew shorter until it looked like a large glowing oval-shaped ball left behind, until it, too, faded. The star-like object continued to travel northwest until it became blurry and dim. It got lower in the sky and disappeared. This all took place in the span of about 10 minutes and was observed from Pasadena, California, on 11/7/15 at about 6:00PM.
