it just came out of nowhere...I had just voted and my kids were with me..and we always look up to see the stars! Started to tell them that some bright stars are planets...and that there are evening stars and morning stars...my son wanted to see a shooting star (something we see all the time upstate NY--Canada lake in the Adirondacks. but he turned away and I looked back up and saw what I saw....NEVER saw anything like it...at first I thought a firework? I was speechless....it was beautiful....a big 'burst' of yellow with a tail....falling fast "downward"...at first I thought, gosh a firework or a plane?
