While driving north on 65 I saw a bright flash above then a second or two later saw it falling seemingly straight down to the ground where it disappeared behind trees on the horizon. It started out bright white then to deep green with an orange color around the meteor itself. Also it was probably the slowest fireball I've ever seen.

As it was falling I could see smoke lit up around the meteor itself with sparks trailing back and a glowing line tracing back from where it came.
