The sky was very clear and beautiful that night I was out side (My house faces south) Looking to the north & seen the streak it looked like it shot over the tree in my backyard so it would have been moving in a NE direction from the south. It was amazing I was playing online with a few friends in voice comms I came in and said I think I seen a meteor skim across the atmosphere and then seen a flash.

I seen a streak go over my house in a north east direction & a flash of light that I though could have been heat lighting... The streak was white, the flash was almost a light blueish green color. It happened so fast I was in awe.
