It just appeared out of no where and was gone almost immediately. It seemed to be moving very fast and it appeared to me that it landed in the field of the high school. I guess it was an optical illusion since it was seen in other parts of the country as well.

I saw it just slightly to my left as I was driving. I thought it was a firework coming from the high school but it just flashed and vanished instantly
