It was incredible, so bright and I live right in the city. I was waiting to see the moon come up over the horizon and before it did I saw this. My toddler saw it too so I think I'm not crazy but I might be!

It almost was like a skipping stone where I thought it would go out and then it would stream again across the sky. it seemed like it went on forever though likely only seconds.
