Brilliant green meteor heading north west from view in California near L.A.

I was listening to the Jeff Rense show on the 13th of Jan and I listened to you and your guest.  When he discribed  a meteor that lit up a drive in in 1955 in Portland Org I rembered seeing a green clored meteor heading north west from my home in West Covina California. It was as large as a quarter heald at arms length and was a brilliant green.  The direction it was heading would have takein it up the coast.
It was dark out I remember but I do not remember the date. It was such an event that even now my sister and I still talk about it.                                    I would have been eleven at the time.
