| Remarks | I definitely feel like what I saw was a meteor or something like that, at first I thought it was a firework and then noticed that the trajectory was towards the Earth, as soon as I noticed that actually yelled out loud "oh my gosh" to my wife xlook at this" unfortunately it had just dropped below the Horizon and she did not see it. |
