Was walking up a slight incline when I first noticed it. Illuminated the few clouds in the area. Very cool experience.

Remarks
Traveled straight down directly south from POV. Started off small and grew larger. Appeared to flash and break apart creating 'sparks' that quickly disappeared while the main bit died out just above the horizon.
