I was outside enjoying a beautiful night sky and an almost full moon. I began to walk inside when I noticed the shadows moving due to a bright light behind me. I quickly turned and saw a fairly large object( roughly 1/12 the size of the moon) and it broke into about 10-12 pieces and quickly burned out.
