I was concerned when it caught my eye and I saw it arcing down toward the area of the airport. The prismatic burst as the sun caught it made me concerned. I was driving with a military base on my right and the airport across the water on my left.

It caught my eye in the light of the sun - arcing down it seemed white and prismatic/multicolored, almost rainbow effect. I thought it maybe was crystalline or metal catching the light.
