Not sure what I saw, moved like a shooting star but it was very close and looked like a rock on fire. Was not moving super fast and looked like it landed in the neighbors backyard. Walked around the block because I was worried about potential fire but didn't see anything. I also didn't hear or see anything to suggest it was a firework.
