It was a very bright (meteor?) moving extremely quickly across my southward view of the sky from east to west. It appeared to be passing over City of Surrey or across the canada/ U.S border. was moving at thousands of miles an hour. Astonishingly bright, brightest and longest shooting star I had ever seen by far. Never saw it break up unfortunately.
