Remarks I did not see fragmentation but I did see what looks to be a type of explosion, at the time I almost thought it was a large missile being intercepted; then the object continued towards earth atv that point moving faster than anything I have ever seen I literally thought to myself oh shit that’s a meteor and it’s going to hit earth right now this is it, it was unreal how fast how close and how much fire and energy the object possessed I was wearing headphones at the time in the pitch black I was outside having a small fire in a barrel so almost no light around me in the middle of the far out country with little city light around, this object almost hit earth or did and was massive the size of 5 747’s in theory.
