The type of observation is ground visual.

The specifics of the observed object: changing of colors from green to red. Reported also to have had a short red tail.

Object appeared to be climbing sharply and then almost fell straight down.

This report is similar to others in the area at that time that is probably related the Green Fireball mystery. I think the most intriguing part is that the witness described the object as climbing then falling straight down. This deosn't sound like the typical path of a meteor.
