I was driving exactly due west and saw the event (not the brightest explosion part, though) in the upper left of the windshield. There was a greenish flash which I thought was fireworks and then after about two seconds a bright streak for a couple of seconds at most.

I saw what I thought was a green fireworks flash (not the brightest part, though) as I was driving due west and had a limited sky view because of the roof.
