I have never seen anything like this my whole life. Everyone driving on the FWY started to break and look up. Very Scary experience. At first it looked like a Helicopter from far going straight, then all of a sudden it got close fast and it looked like a fireball and shot like a shootins star. It was very very weird. I know the exact location of where it happened.
