Glowing Green SKY MIR

I was working second shift at a hospital, I live in the country, so we have a terrific veiw of the sky, I thought I heard something and suddenly the entire sky was glowing bright green, not just a part of the horizon but it was like daylight but bright green, I am not sure of the exact date but it was cold outside and I remember the MIR was supposed to come down soon, at first being the age I am I thought it was a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere, and after I calmed down I thought maybe the MIR fell sooner than planned. I called MCconnel AFB the guard I spoke to had seen it but had no idea what it was. I met someone at our local mall years later who also had seen it but had no information. I also called our local tv station and cosmosphere, very few people saw it and it didn't seem like a big deal to them. I emailed coast to coast but no response there either, For such a weird event with multiple witnesses there is very little documentation. Anyone in this area outside at that time had to see it.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD
