Saw a bright object falling to the ground silently and quickly. It appeared to have green lights and an orange tracer following.

A friend and I were standing around my car in downtown Austin, when I saw a bright object falling to the ground from the top of my peripheral vision. It had green light on it, and a long orange trail behind that followed it down, like a shooting star. It appeared to have sparks emanating from it as it fell, and it made no sound at all, even as it appeared to crash behind the horizon. I pointed it out and my friend was able to briefly see it before it disappeared behind the houses on the horizon. I've seen plenty of shooting stars, but it gave me a very strange vibe, and I've never seen anything like it before. It appeared to be flaming as it fell.
