Saw this while in the car heading home from work. Caught it in the upper left corner of the windshield while coming to a stop on the intersection. Was the only car on the road at the time and would rate it about as bright as a firework, but definitely was not a firework from the angle it was traveling and the speed of which it appeared and streaked across the sky so quickly.
