), it is basically a big big meteor that gets into the lower atmospheres and is very bright. It's basically considered a fireball.Sadly, I have no pictures (seems these things only get caught on security cameras and police car cameras) but this is a pretty good example of what I saw (google image search bolide):
It was blue-ish green, which means copper was burning off. Pretty neat
It wasn't super bright like the bolides seen in a lot of youtube videos, it fizzled out only a few seconds after I saw it from the top edge of my windshield. Still, I consider myself pretty lucky to see one while driving through the desert at night.
