green fireball descending in rocky mountains

White to green hued Ball or oval shaped flash descending rapidly (diagonally toward the north), too big and too close to be a shooting star, we think. We were driving home to our cabin in the mountains from a baseball game in Denver. This is our first time reporting an incident of this nature.
