I’m not certain at the exact time. I was on my back porch talking to a friend on a phone call that began at 8:41. I think we were well into the phone. Call when it happened. But the range of times could’ve been anywhere from 850 to maybe 940

The burst at the end was the largest I have ever seen. Holding my hand out at arms length, the size would have been approximately that at the end of my index finger.

As the object hurdles from right to left, I saw sparkles fly off. At the end, it made a starburst pattern.
