It was a bright line with a glow around it that lit up the whole sky. The glow spilled over the sky like the light from a street light spills light down from its light source.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
There was a massive overall glowing of the sky (that is what caught my attention). At first I thought it was fireworks coming from Stanford University. Then after the glow came fireball that was orange, glowing with flames at the backside (it was traveling from left to right). It left a streak/hard line for a trail. It looked very close.
