Meteorite was falling from the sky toward the ground. Was extremely bright green and fizzled out well before it would have contacted the ground which was a couple degrees above the tree line on the horizon. Looked as if sparks were falling off of it (little orange sparks). Was amazing looking, glad I was driving home and got a chance to see it.
