I was at a high point on top of a hill looking at the sky at the stars or whatever else is up there when I saw the meteorite out of the corner of my eye so i missed most of it. I turned my head to the right and lowered my gaze and there it was. It seemed very low

Remarks
I'm not really sure but it was sort of pulsating. It would get brighter then dimmer like when you strike a match and it go brighter then burned out and disappeared
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Remember the old metal sparklers? It was kind of like that, but not as intense because it wasn't that bright it was glowing yellow and orange and and it seemed to leave a trail. It's hard to explain
