Remarks I saw a very bright, 5 pointed star like object streaking west to east. It had a very bright tailing band of light approximately the same height as the star shaped object, but 5 times or more as long as the star like object. After the tail of light there were large sparkles, I would assume we're pieces falling from the object. The year and season are correct, but unfortunately I never noted the exact date. There was another witness with me. I will try to get her statement as well.
