This is more of a confirmation of http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/044/S44892.html

I was at Ronald Bog, in Shoreline, playing frisbee with a friend. My friend was facing east, threw the frisbee, it went over my head, luckily I turned around to face east to get the frisbee so we both saw it.

Towards northeast, i saw a tear drop shaped object moving from maybe 40-35 degrees(horizon being 0, straight up being 90). It looked like it was shooting to Earth, and seemed to snuff out, not going behind the clouds. It was blue turning into a green aura, moving faster than something at that altitude should have been.

I picked up the frisbee. turned around, and I could tell by his puzzled look, my friend saw the same thing. We talked about it and both tried to rationalize it as a firework, given the time of year, but dismissed that idea as there was no "bang" and it was full and complete on the way down, rather than reaching an apex and fizzling out as fireworks do.
