A couple vacationing in Napili, Maui noticed a bright rectangular blue green object with a orange colored tail streaking across the sky

My wife and I had just finished dinner in a Napili restaurant, walked back to our condo complex via the beach front and sat to view the star formations/night sky toward the island of Lanai. The island of Lanai is west of Napili area of Maui, Hawaii.

As we were viewing outward I looked up and noticed a rectangular blue green object streak in a westerly direction toward the island of Lanai and disappear. The object appeared solid, bright with vivid colors leaving a orange colored contrail behind it.

It was at a 90 degree angle above the horizon. The total time of viewing was approx. 3-5 seconds as it was moving very quickly.

I am a 25 year retired member of the Los Angeles City Fire Department and currently work as a registered Nurse. I am accustomed to assessing detail and sizing up a situation.
