Time: after 7:17 p.m. but before 8:09 p.m. but I'm not sure of exact time. It was still daylight. That was the really cool part. It was horizontal across the sky. We were in the backyard around a campfire and it was toward the driveway over the house.

Remarks
It was going horizontal across the sky. It looked like it broke into 2 pieces. Then it looked like it broke into 3 pieces. Then they all 3 just disappeared. About 5 of us were sitting around a camp fire and saw it. In just a split second. The most special thing ever. I yelled it was a shooting star before dark. I don't know the exact time. But have pictures time stamped for approximate times.
