Remarks It was the first hot 91degree day in New York and me and my husband were returning home with our 5 month old from our evening walk when i saw a very bright long streak of light appearing in the Southwestern part of the sky. I quickly pointed my husband towards the sky and said look is that a rocket? Then we paused to observe it. After few seconds it disappeared in the sky. As soon as that happened i got very excited and said to my husband thats a comet. No, i mean a meteor-shooting star make a wish it comes true. I made my wish and we proceeded home:) We were so happy and thrilled!!! Our first walk with our lil one on Union Tpke-our neighborhood and God shows us this beautiful Sunset Show in the sky. We were passing by the library at the time. This is across the Burlington Mall on Union Tpke. After 2mins we crossed the road to get onto the sidewalk of the mall by McDonalds.
