With a mustache, the cool factor would be too much

I was walking home from a game of late afternoon hide-n-seek one Summer around dusk, when I was a kid, and saw a streak of light in my peripheral vision coming from behind me off to the side.
I turned slightly and saw a green glowing streak of light moving past me about 25ft., above and to the right of where I stopped.
It wasn't moving very fast, which surprised me, 'cause I thought meteorites traveled fast. I guess because it was mostly burnt up it didn't have much mass left and was able to be influenced by wind currents. (it was traveling, at a guess, on a 45° angle)
I was also surprised it was green. Minerals in it, maybe.

I didn't see what happened to it other than knowing it entered the woods that bordered our property. (no fire)

All in all, in was a fascinating experience.
