Observer

Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I initially thought it was a firework because I only saw it out of the corner of my eye, and living in Houston the Astros often shoot off fireworks from the stadium if they win a game, and I can always hear them when I'm outside. However, I did not hear any booms and I could see it up high plain as day for a few seconds and it seemed to burn out. It was much larger and brighter than any firework I've ever seen, and I cannot see the fireworks from the astros games this far away. Plus, the Astros did not have a game that night, Thus, I reached the conclusion that it had to be a shooting star and after a little research, a lone meteor aurigid. I am a member of Mensa and generally reach logically sound conclusions based on available knowledge even when I do not have a background in a subject. As such, I feel like I reached the correct conclusion, but I'm very interested to know if I am correct so please keep me updated. Thanks!
