at first i thought it may have been a plane but the light got brighter which is when i thought it was a helicopter with a spotlight but then i realized it was going way too fast for a helicopter and then as it started to descend it fizzled out like a fuse that had just been doused with water or how the sparks from an exploded firework disipate
