Streak of light heading up at a 60d angle. It looked just like a meteor, but going up, not coming down.
I was talking on the phone with my nephew when I was looking out the window to the South West. I saw what I would describe as a reverse meteor. It went up from the ground at about 50-60d angle at 2-3 times the speed of a meteor. If it were coming down, I would have said it was a meteor, but to go up on an angle!!?? Now there was a storm heading our way, but I know the difference between lighting and a streak heading into the upper atmosphere. I would say it looked similar to the way fireworks would go up, but many, many times faster. It went as far as I could see in a flash.
If it weren’t for a darker grey sky in the background with the storm coming, it probably would have never been noticed.
