large and slow moving for a "shooting star or meteor" large it looked close but didn't hear anything and expected to but windows were up in truck. also a friend called from a car about 4 miles ahead of us and said they also saw a smaller but similar one about 10 min. before but thought it was fireworks until they saw the second one.
