I was just standing outside admiring the night sky while my dogs took their evening tour of the yard. This thing flashed and then then fell straight down -- it was beautiful and creepy!! It looked like it was a giant firework shot off on the neighboring farm, but it was all white with no sound at 10:50 in the evening! Hope this info is of use to you.
