I was wondering what it was at first because I have never seen a fireball aka meteor so close to the ground and so close in distance. It was awe inspiring for sure and it was HUGE!

When it first appeared it reminded me sparkler firework. It flashed in the night sky and then traveled a couple of seconds and disappeared.
