Remarks
I often look at the meteor showers in Aug and Dec/Jan.. I was just letting my dog out and he unusually barked. and I saw it as clear as day.... on my back deck. It was the lowest sky occurrence I had ever seen at first I thought it may have been a helicopter... as I was second guessing myself that maybe it was a transformer or fireworks... but it was not like any of those... it was a very cool sighting to say the least. I love to see if anyone has any video of it.

Remarks
I thought I saw plenty of sparkles coming off of the streak. and I thought I saw a puff when it disappeared from my line of sight but that could have been a cloud... it was so low in the sky... wasn't sure if I lost it in the tree line as it's trajectory was downward.
