I was sitting in my living room and saw it through my large back windows. I live near N Las Vegas Airport, and at first thought it was a small plane circling around for a landing. I see these planes all day and night. I was shocked when I realized what it was. It was so bright and clear. It felt so close

It resembled a 4th of July sparkler being dragged through the sky, with a sparkly particle trail. I could see it breaking apart.
