It was absolutely not a firework and quite exhilarating! Exact date is best guess give or take a couple days.

Remarks
Appearance for brightness and intensity only was very similar to a firework in sky. Initially appeared like shooting star with fireball appearance at end and black center as best I recall. I am a routine stargazer.
