It was probably the coolest thing ive ever experienced. I have been checking the news for updates on it as if it was like a terrorist attack or plane falling or satellite or something crazy. I would like to know any info you have and how common this is. My wife and i could have been the only people to see it since it is so late. My wifes convinced its aliens please respond with jokes because it's pretty funny
