This was one of the coolest moments of my life : ) I thought it was a normal shooting star until it exploded in a green and white flash. Definitely was not a normal shooting star

Remarks
Extremely quick and bright flash of white with some light green/teal. It was so fast I thought it was a reflection of a headlight but I was alone on the road. It was aiming straight downwards and once it was closer to the horizon, it seemed to explode really fast in a flash of light.
