Default What was it? Meteor?

Hello all,

I was just outside my house when I saw a VERY bright dot move from
approximately 60°down toward the horizon ... I only saw as far as the
treetops... around 20°. Rough estimates here. This traversal took
around 1.5 seconds.... quite longer than I'm used to seeing meteors.
Far too fast for an aircraft, far too bright and fast to be a
satellite. It was like seeing Venus travel down the sky like a rocket.

Any ideas?


No idea, but I'm envious I didn't see it!
