When I came out of the store I seen what I thought was a shooting star like I had never seen before but then realized it just couldn\'t be. It was going across the sky what seemed to be pretty low my son thought it was a plane going to crash. You could see beautiful firey sparks coming off of the back while I fumbled to get my phone out to record it the light went out and it was gone. It just disappered like a shooting star would. Very beautiful and very happy to have seen it.
