Good omen. I've seen green fireballs only 3 other times in my life, and something really good happened within a few days. And I mean REALLY good things.

I saw it!!! I caught about 10 seconds of it. I looked up and saw bright red, orange, and yellow flares with a green tail for about 4 seconds then it looked like a white light for about 2 seconds and then it went into a burst of green and blue with a tail before going out.
I thought to myself that was the biggest shooting star I ever saw...

I must have saw a different one. Saw a "shooting star", but it was a little after 8pm...

I guess that's the part I caught. Wish I'd been looking up earlier.

i saw one of those about 2 weeks ago around 845pm. i was traveling towards PG on brandywine rd and it headed toward andrews. My hubby and buddy and i couldnt believe it, it was one of the wierdest things we have ever seen. At least now i know we didnt witness some odd air force craft. Does anyone know if these meteors are common or are we going through a meteor storm right now?

After reading DR's post, I was thinking the green/blue would be an indication of its composition. But after reading your post and the amount of time you saw it, I was wondering if it may also/instead have to do with it temperature and where it was in the atmosphere. According to Wiki, it's due to the composition - could've been rock or metal.
There are two storms that occur in mid/late December, but a storm would last more on the order of 1 or 2 days, not weeks.

If you have the time, please report your finding to the American Meteor Society, as they catalogue all 'fireball' sightings.

I saw one about 3 weeks ago out in West Virginia that was bright enough to turn the night time into day. Pretty wild.

I saw that one too, was travelling south on Route 4, saw it over Waysons Corner area. My son thought I was hallucinating after working many many long hours.

Probably composed of various materials. Like say a tool kit?

There is a lot of iron flying around out there... but I doubt you'd find any stainless steel.

Boron and copper produce blues and greens. More likely Copper.

Enjoy the sight now. When you see this in 2012......well, that'll be the last thing you see.

I think I would, along with steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, gold, uranium, silicone and energizer bunnies.

Its sounds like you saw a UFO. Have you called NASA yet to report the incident?

Nah, what have they ever done for me?

They invented the zero gravity toilet. Which could be very useful if you are ever abducted by aliens.
