I saw the same thing at around 12:30am, bright green, about two seconds long and disappeared in Lancaster Pennsylvania

Both I and my wife, driving separately westward on Stagecoach Boulevard in Evergreen, CO, saw a pencil-eraser-sized greenish ball appear briefly (~2 seconds) and to drop downwards out of sight behind Chief Mountain and Rogers Peak. This occurred sometime between 9:30 and 10:00 pm. 9:45 pm as reported by others would be just about right.

Because we each saw the "shooting star" at the same time from different cars, I eliminate the possibility that it was just headlight glare that catches one's attention.
