I was driving at the time and the flash was quite low, large, and distant. I was worried I had just witnessed an explosion of some sort. The greenish color led me to believe it was a meteor.

Much like a flash of lightning but with the greenish tint. Roundish in propagation. Quickly appeared and decayed on all visual from my angle.
