It was my first time seeing anything like this. It was beautiful but scary at the same time bc it almost looked like what I imagine a bomb would look like in the sky. It was a clear, cool night and I was observing how clearly you see the stars while walking my dog late night.

It streaked then looked like a super bright fireball streaking downward at a angle. Looked so close I was waiting to hear it hit something in the distance.
