It was amazing! Bright blue tail with a Sci-Fi special effects red colored dome head. It seemed so big streaking across the sky. At first I thought it has to be fireworks because I've never seen anything in the sky so big. Then it sort of popped out and there was no sound.

It disappeared like a firework exploding but no sound. It left a couple reddish glowing dots after the flash that lasted a second.
