Remarks Appeared as a glowing white streak over the top of my car's driver-side windshield getting brighter and brighter (much brighter and visibly larger than any star, or planet in the sky and substantially larger than any previous meteor-shooting star I have viewed before in person) while at the same time I was able to view 1-2 smaller fragments separate from the main glowing area though they remained tightly close along the main body. The entire glowing streak continued from about 85 degrees (almost straight overhead to the front of me) to about 70 degrees (moving away from me and a little bit down into my vision) until it flared up/out getting visibly brighter until it terminated with a sharp increase in brightness at the end.
