Experience Level

It was absolutely spectacular and unlike anything I've ever seen. It was so much more that a falling star it was 100 times more intense and larger. Unbelievably amazing experience.

Remarks
Looked like a sparkler Like on a birthday cake, in the sky that flashed out on all sides and shot across the sky. It trailed across the sky and lasted long enough for me to yell out to all the people I was with who had to turn around and they were able to see it for a good 3 more seconds.
