It was really neat to see!! First time experiencing this. I heard on the radio that there was a fireball, but when I saw it I thought it was a massive shooting star.

I thought it was a shooting star!! It was almost like a mini explosion at the end with the fragments exploding in different directions, then it disappeared quickly. My friends didn't see it in the sky after they looked up when I mentioned it.
