Time Of Sighting:
Report: We were riding bike at shark valley park in the everglades, fl. As we left the tower heading north, 3 of us saw what appeared to be a “shooting star or firework” but the trajectory and speed was way off for a firework rocket etc. It came in super fast and as it came (roughly 3 fists from the horizon) into the atmosphere broke up in a vibrant hue of greenish color the fizzed out. It was really big though. I frequently see “shooting stars” but have never seen one of that porportion in my life. I have found a link to it:
