It was directly over my head and seemed so low I felt I should duck- so bright- so fast. Took me by surprise and delighted me. First time- I have seen a shooting star and Meteor showers but nothing like this- huge tail. I feel like I want to go look for pieces of it. I was upset that the lights in the parking lot were not working but maybe if they had been on- I would have miss that incredible sight. Unearthly bright!
