I have seen shooting stars before and even giant red fiery streaks across the sky (years ago and all by chance) but this seriously looked like from what I saw that something fell through the clouds and hit the earth! I have never seen anything like this before and so obviously I'm excited and felt the need to report it! i would love to hear what an expert has to say about it!
