I am almost 50 years old and that was the first time I had ever seen anything like that. It was beautiful! I have seen shooting stars at night before but nothing like this. It was 5:00 pm and not even dark. It really looked cool against the pretty blue sky. My husband and I were amazed!

It looked black with blue flames all around it and as it went across the sky it left a line of sparks similar to a shooting star. Beautiful!
