I was simply sitting in my back window having coffee looking north out into my back yard anticipating observing nature...deer usually. I saw a very bright light that appeared very close and the sky was bright. It appeared as bright as a sparkler, it seemed to move slowly and as I watched it come down and left in front of me is simple went out like a spark from a fire. I have seen shooting stars before but never at this time of the morning. It was pretty cool to see. I'm quite sure many others saw this.
