i go out for a walk almost every evening of the year and see what i would call shooting stars at least every two or three weeks and sometimes very long streaks across the sky but this was totally different as it looked quite close and i could see it breaking into individual pieces as it went

it caught my eye as a bright streak and seemed to be tearing itself apart into many smaller pieces which soon dimmed from yellow through orange and disapeared.to me it looked as though it was boiling from the front
