Well, I was wondering if there would be a sonic boom it looked like it was only 5-10 miles away from us and I hope it would not hit the earth and was waiting for a possible explosion or shock wave but nothing happened thankfully. The length of time was so long and estimate it at about 11 seconds. My wife Vivian Jobst saw it as we were driving south right across from Mystic Lake Casino owned by the Dakota Sioux Medewaken Tribe as well as my daughter Krista Jobst and her friend Casey in another automobile driving south on Mystic Lake Dr. across from the casino.

I saw it and couldn’t believe my eyes. Large fragment that was burning, with a very long green to bright green tail lasting about 11 seconds.
