I suck at explaining stuff and I noticed it out of my peripheral vision and then when I looked full on it was ending. It happened so fast and I only believed it to be a meteor because it disappeared right after and I didn’t see any debris. It looked a lot like when I’ve seen shooting stars while staring at the night sky except it was so much closer and brighter than I’d ever seen.
