For a second I thought it was a shooting star and so I told 2 of my kids that there was a shooting star while we walked the park until I saw that it didn’t disappear like one would. The meteor grew flame and got brighter right before my eyes just before touching down. Its a scary first time experience of close view as it was VERY near to us like it landed in the city or the next town from the park we were at.
