The fireball, which was captured on the Geophysical Institute's All-Sky camera, flashed briefly into view and disappeared. One resident described it as a green flash with a long tail. Others said the tail also contained orange and red fragments.
It was visible for only seconds, they told the American Meteor Society, which tracks sightings.
Don Hampton of the Geophysical Institute's Poker Flat Research Range said, "It looks like a good sized meteor, but probably not a meteorite (which means it hit the ground.)"

That reminds me of one I saw in Fairbanks also, at about 2;30 A.M. on about''' first week in March
back in 1997, I t was very bright Green as it approached with a blue tail following, than it went over the horizon.
Likely not hitting the ground it was heading straight north, it lite the whole town up like 'day light momentarily
From total darkness to very bright green to very blue to total darkness.
