My daughter and I both saw this occur while we were in the car driving home from a concert. We both remarked that we had seen shooting stars before but never anything in that practically fluorescent green color with the golden tail. We were almost home so once we arrived we immediately looked up what we may have seen and discovered that it was likely a meteor.
