Duration: split second
No of observers: 2

Location: Charlotte, NC, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

I thought it was a firework at first...then I realized it was too big and way too fast. We live about 15 miles from airport....this was 20 times faster than anyplane I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot).

Just a bright streak, but you could tell there was a mass at the front. It was not like a shooting star. Probably a comet, but I swear it was in the atmosphere. The object made no sound
