thought at first it might be a plane burning up but there was nothing to see but a bright ball with a bit of a tail burning up as it came down - also did not hear anything on the news about a plane problem which I listened to just in case - but did not think it was a plane after thinking about what I saw - was kind of cool to see something like that
