If it’s helpful I would be glad to draw out the approximate trajectory on a day time photo. Just have someone follow up with me via email.

Remarks
First I saw a flash and then it appeared to not move for the first half second (as if it were headed into one’s direction) before it brightly flew across the sky east and downwards for about 2 seconds. At first my heart sank because I thought it was crashing close to Seaside Heights New Jersey, but it could have crashed hundreds of miles offshore.
