It resembled a fire work, almost like a huge sparkler for a second that disappeared into a glow and smoke trail
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I wasn't looking directly in the sky at first, but the light from the flash made my glass patio table and deck glow with light and seemed to light my whole yard for ab 2 seconds that caused me to look to the sky and see what I thought was a huge shooting star with a beautifully sparkling tail. Seemed so huge and close I almost expected the ground to shake upon impact
