I'm unsure of the exact location. I was definitely walking around 9pm. I turned onto 8th street from Elf Ct. As I was heading East (before the bend) my husband and I saw it on our left side above the houses. We think we were between house numbers 435 and 443.

Remarks
There was a glowing train that flickered out. I've never seen a shooting star so close before. No parties in the neighborhood, no fireworks, just on a quiet evening walk in that area. Point given on map may not be exact.
