I did not see the meteor. I only saw the night sky light up with a green color for 1-2 seconds like lightning with 2 significant flashes. I was driving slowly and was stopping for a stop sign when it occurred. I stopped, rolled my window down and looked out my window to see the glowing smoke and embers above. I turned the radio down and listened for any sounds that I might hear. I heard nothing. I called my daughter who was also driving about 20 miles east of my location and she had seen nothing. I'm hoping that someone else saw something and reports it.

Remarks
There was smoke on both ends with bright fireworks like glowing embers in the middle. The smoke faded in a second or two, but the embers glowed for about 5 seconds as they faded to smoke and then another 5 seconds to nothing.
