Memphis sky is pretty washed out so I must have been much more spectacular father out of the city. This was the brightest thing I've ever witnessed in the sky. I first thought it was a jetliner on fire but was much too fast. I'm surprised the news does not know about this. I call them.

Remarks
I first observed it as a fast flash of Red then fading fast as it went over the trees. The street is pretty tree lined so I was only to observe it straight ahead from left to right maybe 10-15 degrees for a couple of seconds,
