Very bright blue-green fireball moved downward then went out.
I was driving southward on I-5 about an hour or so north of Redding when I noticed a bright flash outside from my left. I though it was a CHP car coming up from behind me because the flash was about the color of a police car light. When I looked out my driver's side window, I saw a very bright blue-green light about 45 degrees above the eastern horizon. It moved straight downward for about six seconds then appeared to burn out. It didn't have a tail and it seemed to move slower than a shooting star or meteorite. It was about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of a full moon. It was distinctive because of it's blue-green, almost bright cyan, color.
