It wasn't the skydiver, was it?

Thanks for all of the replies. Lots of interesting stuff here.

No info on what I saw last night though? Whatever it was, crossed the visible sky and was still burning strong as it disappeared over the horizon. I was standing outside, facing north. The object appeared from the NW and was traveling SE.

Thanks again. cameraniac

Definitely sounds like a Draconid meteor. The radiant point in Draco was in the northwest during most to the evening hours. Burners are definitely cool!

It was very cool. First time I have ever seen one as big and burning yellow.
