Bright green ball with long flame trail. After green light went out the flame trail broke up somewhat before dying off. It was low before the green went out. I was driving on the highway and the sky lit up extremely brightly in front of me before I noticed the meteor out the drivers side window. Because I was driving I could not hear any sound that may have been associated
