Amateur astronomer is probably an exaggeration, but I spend countless hours stargazing and working outside at night. We have a farm where we host guests who usually come to stargaze. I was driving when I saw this one (it's my 4th!). I just arrived at the crest of a hill and stopped for a stop sign and it was right in front of us a little to the right. For what it's worth it was very overcast at the time as well. We could not see any stars. My son was accompanying me and it was his first fireball observation...I often tell guests who come during meteor showers that even when it's overcast they still have a chance to see fireballs and now I can say this from personal experience. Thank you for doing the work that you folks do!

I'd call them little white sparkles...it wasn't a line...it was bright and these sparkles were left behind it if that makes sense
