I only looked up "giant shooting stars" because this was such an anomaly.

it was HUGE! I thought it was a planet or something so bright. I was just at the stoplight and it shot down my windshield and left this long train behind it. I've seen many shooting stars in Maine and late at night, but never anything like this. I was in awe.
