The meteor was traveling the same direction as myself. It was the most incredible unidentified object i've ever seen. I wish it had lasted longer. I live 35 miles NW of Pittsburgh. I expected to hear it had landed somewhere within that 35 miles based on how low it was. I was excited to find others seen it. It was absolutely incredible how the tail had the sparkles around it as if it were rocket propelled. I'm so glad I got to witness it.
