It flew perfectly horizontal across the horizon at blazing speeds! The colors were so bright as it flew across the sky. I've never seen anything like it - it burned for atleast an entire minute (enough time for me to take a picture after I picked my jaw up off the ground!) - eventually breaking up into smaller pieces until it disappeared.

It started to break after after about a minute in the sky. Little by little you could see it breaking apart until it disappeared completely. Amazing!
