It’s hard to get exactly where it began and ended but. It definitely came into view and drew our attention while sitting in a car. So we had time enough to react and i saw it the best. At first i thought firework but it was horizontal from start to finish so that wasn’t possible along with the size was much much larger than a firework could had been much larger than a star but not bigger than the moon. The tail basically was from where we were sitting from one end of the house to the other. And seemed to feel like it was around 4 to 5 blocks away

I saw the tail and it seemed to burn up at the end of its path and faded away after it got slightly brighter.
