I just happened to see a shooting star as I walked out to my backyard while taking the dogs outside. At first, I caught a glimpse of a light in the sky above me and thought it was a plane. I quickly realized it was a shooting star as I looked up to see the streak across the sky. The shooting star had a burst-head that was followed by a long white line which momentarily marked the night sky just above where Mars appears.
The streak was much longer than usual and started in the East and weirdly headed almost perfectly West. This shooting star was also a bit slower and more long lasting that other shooting stars I've seen, though it still dissipated very quickly. I was also surprized that the shooting star was so visible, given the wisps of clouds and the suburban light pollution.
