My husband also saw it. I asked if that was a shooting star and he said no it was a meteor. I first noticed the bright blue light in the sky much too big and it was shooting towards the ground very fast but too big to be a firework. Had a long trail of brilliant white. Only lasted a few seconds. The object was North East of where we were on Garfield and it was on a westerly trajectory as it was coming down. Very beautiful.
