I was taking an evening walk when my friend and I saw what we thought was a shooting star. She said no it is a firework. I said it has to be a shooting star it was absolutely beautiful. It was so close and low lying and bright. It was the biggest shooting star I ever saw(I've only seen 2). It lit acrossthe sky right in front of our eyes. it seemed to move in slow motion but about 5 seconds then just fizzled out just like a firework would. I have never seen anything like it in my life!!
