The way it originally came into view, my first thought was maybe a satellite falling down and out of orbit. We’re outside right now watching a movie in my backyard. Nobody in my neighborhood is launching fireworks tonight.

It got brighter as the streak went on, then suddenly disappeared. Almost like a Disney firework, but it definitely wasn’t a firework.
