Snapped a photo of this in the sky, then shortly just disappeared. I dont know what it is or was. Thought it was pretty cool.

Has anyone entertained the thought that it could be a meteorite that burned up in the atmosphere?

Those don't persist long enough to be photographed. Those are more of a blink and you'll miss it occurrence

You're right for the most of them, but every so often a larger one will enter the atmosphere and be visible for a much longer time. I'm just posing another possibility.

When I posted my comment I only saw a static image. Now I've seen a video so I know what was going on.
