Yeah,
That sounds like a Geminid, fast and blue, a speck of dust burning up at 70km/sec 20 kilometres up...

I wonder if that wish came true...

There's nothing quite like staring at the night sky in a remote place on a moonless night.  The Milky Way takes on a discernable form which is quite beautiful in itself.

There are some spectacular sights in the heavens, and it's safe to say that humanity hasn't seen the best of them yet.
