Probably a meteor
At about 9:10pm my wife and I were enjoying our hot tub. As I'm always looking up for shooting stars and satelittes I saw in the south sky a object like a shooting star but much bigger. It was traveling a southeasterly direction. I saw it first and pointed at it to my wife she had time to turn her head and see it. Normally there isn't time for this if it were a shooting star. It was about the size of my thumbnail with my arm stretched out. It was white with a dark center it looked to have a streaming tail like shooting stars. It appeared at the 3 o'clock position and disappeared at about the 8 o'clock position. There were no sounds heard. The only thing that bothers me is the speed, it traveling as it was slower than the shooting stars I observe. I was just curious if anyone else saw this. My guess would be a meteor glancing off our atmosphere because it was so big.
