I'd give anything to have a second person say they saw this! It was terrifying and magnificent all at once.

Remarks
If I'm answering this correctly, the blue "ball" portion moved from right to left with a bright tail of yellow and white that looked like a sparkler but more intense and then the ball appeared to start fizzling out before it got super bright and appeared to have blown up but also disappeared.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
As stated above it was almost like a sparkler firework but unlike anything I've ever experienced. It took my breath away because of how brilliant and large it all was. Also, it moving horizontally really threw me off and it was so low it was partially behind a tree as it traveled for about 2 seconds from start to finish.
