A great report, I know exactly what you mean and you summed it up so well. Despite being an avid Astronomer you instincts tell you that it must be something Terrestial, thats when you think back and say wow that was a beauty, it looked so close.
I remember seeing one during a shower about 7 years ago I was walking back from the local dark spot, was all a let down then one appeared just above the power lines 30 feet up, it looked like it was so close, I thought I heard it fizz, I thought it was a skyrocket at first, thats exactly what it looked like come to think of it.
Then the people in here told me that I probably didnt imagine the noise!
