I saw the object as it entered the view of my front windshield. Vehicle is a Honda Odyssey. It appeared for approximately 2 maybe 3 seconds. The color was intense, vibrant. In Michigan it was already dark by approximately 6 pm.
The object appeared west north west of my location. The trajectory was fairly steep and no real visible tail associated with it. Intense green in color and the tip / nose had the amber tones for color.
