I saw a bright light moving quickly across the sky last night. It disappeared very fast. I'm not sure if it was a plane, satellite, or maybe a shooting star. How can I tell?

Bolide meteors are particularly striking due to their brightness and the potential for fragmentation.

If the observer notices what appears to be a singular object streaking across the sky, this is a typical characteristic of a meteor.

Sometimes, these objects exhibit an explosive-like appearance as they traverse the atmosphere.

When an object moves at an extremely high speed and the entire event unfolds within a flash or just a couple of seconds, it often indicates the presence of a meteor.
