For a split second I thought it was a plane on fire coming out of no where crashing to the ground. Even listened to see if I heard it hit.---------------------Nothing.

Was outside looking in almost the direct direction it came from. Appeared suddenly and silently. like a burst of fire making a large wide path slanting down from S.W. moving N. E.. Mostley E. Took the dog out to go potty. Noticed an empty sky, no planes. I always see planes going and coming from Grand Rapids. Had a very narrow outline of white. Faint. Way wider than a shooting star. It startled me at first but awesome to see Checked around and talked to 2 more people who saw it. Hard to miss.
