I was driving west on route 62 in Hermitage, PA between 6:35am and 7:00am. I could only see it until I passed under it so I don't know if it fizzled out or continued on track. It's winter so my windows were closed which is why I don't know if it made any sound.

It looked like a 4th of july sparkler with a small tail behind it.
