(CNN) -- What burns bright green and flies through the air with its tail sticking out behind it?
Possibly a tiny remnant of a comet that disintegrated some 170 years ago.
It was a meteor, say Texas residents. Many reported seeing a fireball streaming across the Saturday night sky, a regional bureau of the National Weather Service said.
