At first I questioned if this was fireworks, because it's cloudy out today. The trajectory didn't appear ballistic and the direction was towards the ground and far too fast to be a falling terrestrial object. It seemed very close because of its brightness and cloud cover. My 18 year old son was with me while I was driving. He had no other way to explain it either
