I've watched meteor showers and seen falling stars - but this was amazing and much bigger than falling stars and shooting meteors that I'd ever witnessed. I also listened and watched for any reaction upon hitting the ground which I believe would be in the neighborhood near Rockrimmon Elementary School.
