This came out of no where in the sky. It resembled a shooting star but there weren’t stars out. We thought it was either the star or fireworks but it didn’t resemble the firework at all.

Remarks
It got brighter and looked like it expanded and it just disappeared very quickly and nothing else happened. The window was up so I couldn’t hear anything outside. It looked like a shooting star but there weren’t any stars out.
