I've never seen anything so completely unexpected and amazing! It was so vivid and looked like it was so close.

Remarks
It had a glowing trail that seemed attached at first then became disjointed. It was so distinct and looked so close. I've seen things fall down from the sky before but this appeared to glide across the sky and was so bright and vivid.
