The sky was very dark but also very clear. I had an unobstructed view and it was something different that i have never seen before. It seemed very close to me not like meteor showers or shooting stars that i have seen before where there up high in the sky. This was moving so fast so bright and then gone before in an instant. An experience that was so different that i searched out this website i never used before to report what i saw
