| Remarks | Not sure how to answer length; it seemed very long and bright traveling vertically. I would say it was probably the length of 45 degrees to when I saw it disappear just above the horizon. It lit up the entire sky, which caught my attention and made me look. I initially thought it was a firework, but realized it was too late in the day for that. It seemed to be headed to the ground, and also seemed very close to me, which was concerning at the time. |
