It was very bright and went nearly straight across. Out of the corner of my eye I thought it was a plane but when I looked directly at it, I realized it looked like it was on fire. And it continued bright and I was almost worrying it wasn't going to burn out.

Went it "burnt out" it looked like it stopped and turned into 2 or 3 pieces and then just disappeared. like when an ash from a fire burns out.
