I've seen shooting stars before and this was much closer to the ground and appeared much larger than any shooting star I've seen.

Remarks
Driving north bound on 315 north I saw a large bright white light go from the hood of my car to just above the horizon in a matter of a second. It was very large and obviously far above in the sky.
