It was astonishing in how close, bright, low and slow it was but yet it happened so fast. I've been star gazing lately and i just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Totally awesome!

Remarks
White ball appeared to approach directly toward me then as it got closer it went from my right to left. As it passed me i noticed the front section of the ball bright white and second half to be a glowing reddish/ orange with a sparkling trail. Then instantly i heard a fizzle sound (like the sound of a bottle rocket taking off) and then it burnt up and disappeared.
