I was driving, my friend was in the passenger seat. It was night, and to my left the terrain was kind of generally sloping downward and away - so a fair view if there was anything to see, but it was night and not a populous location so nothing to see. Except, what must have been a low - and I mean low - meteor flew into the atmosphere in the same direction we were driving (on my left), lighting up the tops of the trees as it flew by in a giant fireball and it quickly became a smaller point of light and fizzled away. The streak in the sky must have lasted a good 2 full seconds and we were dumbstruck looking at each other after like Did that just really happen? .

One of the coolest things I've seen to date.
