Never seen anything like that before. Definitely not a firework. Definitely lasted a good deal of time. It was quite bright. Not a meteor although that is the closest thing I have seen to what I saw tonight, or even closer was watching a space shuttle re-enter orbit once.
It almost looked like a fireball or a rocket exploding as it streaked across the sky then vanished. Quite high in the sky. Again definitely NOT a firework. And no sound either. I almost thought a plane exploded at first. Very strange.
