I just can't believe how bright this was. I have seen many falling stars/ meteorites and have never seen something this close and this bright! It looked very big compared to previous sightings. It was amazing to see it....I wish my kids would have seen it with me!

It lit up the whole yard . It was like a very bright spotlight was turned on....it kinda scared me because it was so bright and looked so big coming down.
