Remarks
It was huge and close. I have never seen anything like this in my life.. It was so big I was waiting to hear an explosion. At arms length I would say it was as big as a quarter. I know other people had to have seen it.. I would guess that if it would have in fact hit earth, it would be catastrofic
Terminal flash

Unknown
Remarks
I have sen shootong stars in the past but nothing even close to the size of this
