I looked up and saw a bright streak ending which dropped a little like a star but brighter and much bigger. It got larger as it arced and then blew up and went out. no after light at all. it was shocking as i was indoors on my couch and just happened to look up to see this through a sunroom ceiling. In 25 years I have never seen anything like it. I watch the moon go across the sky all the time and see planes go by but never anything like this. amazing and surprising that I haven't heard about anyone else seeing it. It was a cold, clear and very windy night with a full moon. It was not the moon because I looked over to see the moon. I kept looking after this and saw nothing more. I have seen shooting stars before but none were ever as bright and big as this was.
