I saw one of these when I was very young, I’ve often thought about it since. Im 44 years old now and the one I saw tonite was even brighter and my wife witnessed it along with me. She thought it was a firecracker and when I told her it was a meteor she was amazed. We now have this beautiful experience to share with everyone and remember for the rest of our lives.
