It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It was huge and swept across the sky as far as i could see it...Lasted at least 10 seconds..I had my telescope out this morning looking at Saturn right before it crossed the same viewing area in the sky.

Remarks
The whole thing looked like a huge launched firework until it started to fragment and it kept going all the way across the sky until I could not see it through the trees behind me..It was huge and fragmented into at least 20 pieces..It came in heading North East across the sky.
