Remarks There was an initial flash that lit up light overcast sky so I looked up (I was sort of already looking up towards trees but saw bright flash and looked up to sky) and saw a large white ball. It’s almost the this giant white ball lit up for a second and then shot off towards the west for approx 1-2 seconds and left a white trail which disappeared quickly. There was light overcast clouds that were pretty low and this ball and streak lit up through these light clouds. I’ve seen many shooting stars before and this was no shooting star.
