Ohio, United States object in night sky 8AUG2011

I saw a green fireball from Auburn Indiana looking to the west towards Ohio at approx 12.20.am CDT.  Upper left to lower right at approx 15 degree angle it appeared at approx 15 degrees north of true west and i followed it to approx 20 degrees south of true west at which point view was obstructed by buildings it was very low 45 degrees off of horizontal or lower i would say.  light green in color with light green cloud surrounding object and a split light green to almost white tail,  larges I've ever seen. almost as bright as full moon.  no explosions or any sounds i could make out. no flashes at least till i lost visibility.   -Frank G.  Thank you Frank for your kind report!
