APPROXIMATE 5 SECOND GREENISH FLAME LIKE BURST SEEN DESCENDING @ A DOWNWARD ANGLE TO THE SOUTHWEST OF DALLAS

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 10PM AND 12AM ON AUGUST 21ST 2010 A FRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING WEST ON HIGHWAY 30 TOWARD DOWNTOWN DALLAS, TEXAS A FRIEND AND I BOTH SAW @ THE SAME TIME A GREENISH FLAME BURST THAT APPEARED TO BE FALLING AT A SLIGHT ANGLE IN THE UPPER LEFT SIDE OF MY DRIVER WINDSHIELD SO IT WAS APPARENTLY VERY HIGH IN THE AIR. THE FLAME BURST LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS AND APPEARED SOUTH WEST OF WHERE WE WERE DRIVING POSSIBLY NEAR ARLINGTON FROM THE POINT THAT WE WERE TRAVELING.. THE BURST LOOKED TO BE TO THE WEST OF DALLAS BUT TOWARD THE SOUTH AS WELL BUT WE OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT TELL WHERE IS WAS EXACTLY, IT COULD HAVE EVEN BEEN AS FAR AS OVER ANOTHER STATE TO THE WEST OF US IN DALLAS TEXAS.. COINCIDENTALLY THE SAME FRIEND AND HAVE SEEN MORE THAN ONE "SHOOTING STAR" BEFORE SO WE BOTH KNOW VERY WELL THAT THIS TIME WE HAD WITNESSED SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING SEEN BEFORE.. I HONESTLY WROTE IT OFF AS A METEORITE OR SOMETHING ENTERING OUR ATMOS! PHERE A LOT CLOSER THAN I HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE, UNTIL I WAS WATCHING UFO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THIS MORNING. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE SEARCH (SIGHTING 8/21/10) AND THE 1ST THING THAT POPPED UP WAS A VIDEO A MAN HAS FROM A SIGHTING THE SAME EXACT NIGHT OVER ARLINGTON TEXAS WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE JUST WEST OF DALLAS, THIS IS WHAT PROMPTED THIS MY REPORT OF SIGHTING. THE DAY AFTER I SAW THE BURST I SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE REPORTED ANYTHING, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING REPORTED BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WAS SOMETHING NATURAL THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAD SEEN.
