Saw a meteor or space debris while driving some years back.
It was 'preceded' by a prolonged green flash that lit up the highway and the hills on either side.
I thought someone had fired a flare until I leaned forward and looked out the top of my windshield. Then I saw the object itself shooting off white sparks and leaving an orange trail.

Saw a green meteor trail in New England about 1966. It was orange on the leading edge and split into two identical parts, still orange and green. Went all the way across the sky, low and slow. Typical orbital debris.
