Im going to check neighbors houses tomorrow when the sun comes up. The flash I saw was in very close proximity to their rooftops. I was worried that a fire could have started so check the proximity. Have a good one.

It looked like a bottle rocket coming down from the sky and popped. It was so close and fast I thought it was fireworks. My wife and kids after figuring it was not fireworks went and checked to make sure neighbors house was ok. This thing popped about 100 yards from us.

Best description: Whitish blueish bottle rocket came down quickly from sky and popped. My boat engine was running and I had music on. I did not hear the pop but my wife and I clearly saw it
