I was on the phone with my girlfriend who was within a ten mile radius of where I live. When I said I saw something in the sky she quickly responded did you see that? She was driving with a friend who she had spent all day with. I went on to go and find it but was too slow to follow it in time.

Remarks
It looked like a burning napkin at first, then I thought firework, but the way it emerged out the sky was completely unexpected. I had already been looking into to the sky taking a break from my studies.
