Portia Chalifoux wonders if anybody else saw "the large bright fluorescent green ball coursing from low north west to east north of Boston" around 5:52 p.m.

Yep.

But meteor or Chinese space station?

A star, a star, dancing in the night, with a tail as big as a kite!

I saw it north of Brockton. From its size, azimuth, and brightness I thought for certain it was very close. Turns out it had been observed at least as far south as Florida indicating it was very high altitude and very far north, possibly over Canada.

Definitely Canada

It was spotted by observers in Montreal.
