A diving white ball of light, headed North.

I was driving on the GCP in a well lit part of the road, headed West and I saw a meteor-looking white ball head from the south to the north, and racing downward. It appeared near and very bright, thousands must have seen it. I could even though I was surrounded by oncoming headlights and overhead street-lights. That's how bright and visible it was.
