While taking an exit ramp I saw a large bright green light arcing towards the ground.

I was driving off of 199 onto the longhill road exit when I suddenly saw a mostly bright green and white object that was not decending like a airplane or helicopter, it hopped into two distinct arcs. The first arc was short, and the second was long then it disapeared into the dark sky. It was about 70 degrees above the horizon.

If a shooting star was a ball point ink pen line, this looked more like a large magic marker for size comparison.
