Not positive of time it was, but believe it was not long after 11 pm. Have never seen anything like that. I saw a comet from an aircraft before but this was just as exciting!

Remarks
First was the super bright blinding white light that lit up whole sky and you could even see it in the trees! Reminded me of an explosion. We were camping and whole campground s were filled with wows and oohs! Then it was a very bright trail, much thicker/wider than I normally see from a shooting star. Looked close because was big. Remained thick and white before slowly thinning and disappearing.
