We were sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean on a clear night. Stars were visible. Then what looked like a falling star or comet (but while it seemed to move faster than those, it lasted longer) appeared and got brighter as it passed until it just disappaeared. It was so amazing and bright that we started googling what it might be. Definitly looked like a fireball!

For just a split second we thought "Oh look, a comet." and before we could finish the thought it exploded into bright light and just disappeared
