There was a line of trees between me and the horizon. Trees were approximately 60 yards in front of me. Bright flash appeared to occur just a couple agrees above the tree tops. I was actually facing the opposite direction and had just started to open my car door when I caught the first glimpse of something very bright in my cars side mirror and then reflecting off my eyeglasses. I turned around just in time to see the bright blue green flash as the object appeared to disappear behind the tree line.
