I thought it was a meteorite... but it was Really Close, and very bright! It also had colors which made me wonder if it was a flare... or maybe Very Big firework Dud ... since it did not explode into sparkles. I started white then reddish... yellow and ended with a flash having a greenish bright white aura... Pretty Spectacular!!!
