Completely sober, i decided it was nice enough to walk home from a friend's house Saturday night, at about 1:15am.
I was admiring the sight of a very thin crescent moon that was rising just above the horizon.
Then I suddenly saw a bright green sphere and trailer falling down from the southeast sky. It was similar in color to a trafiic light green, and as it fell, orange-yellow flares or sparks burnt off of it.
At first i thought it was a firecracker, but it travelled down in a straight line, until it disintegrated. It made no sound.

I was wondering if anyone else saw it.

Yeah, I saw it hit the drunken ajussi staggering down the street. Laughing

Seriously, did you make a wish?

I recall from college learning that if you see a green tail then it isn't rocky, it's metal, a satellite or space junk. Apparently there's a lot up there these days. Over Daegu,... was it in the east? perhaps a controlled dropping into the sea.

Yeah, when I saw the sparks flying off, as it burnt out, i got the feeling it was some kind of space junk. So no wishes were made.

Could it have been something from the nearby U.S. or Korean millitary bases?

Well, that area is nothing but mountains. The bases are in the city and to the west.
