I know that distance is relative to angle and speed but whatever this was most likely reached the ground and I'm only guessing here but within 20 - 50 mi. Of my location upon seeing it. If the object is located I would like credit as I have searched but found no other reports of the event.

Remarks
It wasn't a solid continuous light. It also didn't have pieces fanning out and or drastically away from it. It seemed more like a flame burning and flickering.
