I was looking through my 8"cat and noticed a bright light off to my left (NE). It was very bright. I turned to look (NE) and there was a HUGE white light (Moon Sized) that was there and it proceeded quickly NE and down. I waited to "hear" a boom or a crash - It was so big I literally thought it might hit and kill us.
