I was stargazing by the river, July 7 ,3 AM.I saw what I thought was a very bright meteor.It was very hight up and incredibly fast. It only lasted 1.5 secs...The problem is that it didn't move like a meteor. It did a fishhook move and was gone. One thing I do know is that meteors don't change direction.The tail (?) was so bright. and much thicker than a reg. meteor as well. location,,,45 N 26' ,,73 W 50' ,,,looking south,,,60 degrees ALT
