My husband and I both saw this as we were driving home. Neither of us have any space knowledge. We both are very intrigued by this type of events and just wanted to share. We checked the news to see if anyone reported it but haven\'t seen anything yet. Selfridge Air base is south of us but this was way too fast to be a jet with afterburners and way too low in our opinion. Wondered how we can find out what we saw.

Remarks
I saw a fire trail that disappeared and because I\'m not a scientist or pro at this I was so stunned I couldn\'t believe what I was seeing.
