Extremely bright! Noticed at top of windshield as approaching intersection from the east. Was able to slow to watch just before making the turn. Amazingly no other drivers around seemed to notice. Appeared to almost drop vertically, moving too fast to be anything but a meteor. Love watching sky as hobby; seen plenty over the years and this was definitely Not the typical falling/shooting star.
