It was dusk, I’ve never experienced a brighter event of this kind. My wife and I are still quite amazed.

Remarks
Looked like a glowing white and gold arrow. 3 points. With fragments above and below the center mass.Looked like an arrow as the three fragments appeared to converge as it was moving away from us at an angle.Sun had set behind us but still lighting and affecting the color of the trail.
