It was an amazing sight! We were walking our dogs and I saw it first, and pointed it out to my partner who then looked up and saw it for a good 5 seconds as well before it disappeared. It had a long brilliant mostly white trail/tail.

About 10 to 15 seconds after it disappeared, my partner said he heard a boom, but I was exclaiming excitement over having seen it and I'm not sure if I heard it or not......(it wasn't exceptionally loud I think).
