I have never seen anything like it in my life. It was so big and bright and fast. The smoke trail it left was amazing. Smoke was spinning . It was beautiful.

Remarks
Very swirly and long and the smoke trail was spinning ... Like a bottle rocket gone crazy. Clear white smoke that stayed in the sky for awhile.
