Green fireball near Minot, ND

I was driving on Highway 83 North to Minot, ND where I work. As I was driving I thought I had seen a shooting star out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was a big green fireball moving East. It appeared to be arcing downward and the green light had "burnt out". But yet I could still see an object falling. While I was driving there were about five other cars around me and they all had to have seen because they all slammed on their brakes when it occured.
