I had been up to use the bathroom and had just layed down and closed my eyes when a flash of light came through the window. I opened my eyes to see the fireball traveling through the sky. It had a definate shape in the middle that reminded me of a rubix cube with pieces missing or perhaps a Minecraft shape...like my grandchildren play. I thought that strange. I really thought it was going to hit Mount Carr or Mount Ames but it suddenly came apart and just disolved. It was stunning and amazing and happened so fast!
