Hello meteor obsevers,
          I am not quite sure what it was, but I think it was a fireball based
on what I've read.  I saw it 5-10 degrees directly below Orion's Belt.  The
time was 9:55 pm CST.
My location is 30 miles north of Chicago.  The fireball? itself was bright
green and made a short arc pattern about the legnth of Orion.  It's magnitude
was 2-4, I'm not sure of negative or positive, but the brighter of the two.
Forgive for my confusing and insufficient reporting, but I am only a beginer.
