I was driving when I saw it. I had a clear view of the horizon. I shouted out loud with my girlfriend in the car because my perception was that a plane was nosediving into the ground. I got ready to close my eyes for a blast of light but nothing happened.
I don’t have experience in astronomy, but I do have a good sense of math and my memory is good. I noted in my head where I was when I saw it and what direction it was in. I’m highly confident with my responses.
