Remarks | A bright streak with sparks coming off of it. At first I thought it was a firework, but it was high and went across my whole field of vision. I was in a car in a residential neighborhood that is somewhat lit up so was surprised it caught my attention, but I have a large sunroof that was opened so it caught my attention when it was almost directly overhead and it continued traveling from south to north, almost to the horizon. |
