I have no other explanation for this. It was amazing. What drew me to look up was the very bright reflection in my car windshield. I think this may have been the initial explosion which is why I can’t describe it very well. I was standing in front of my car at the time. There was light cloud but I could still see the stars through. It just broke into pieces and fell down over what seemed like a few houses away. The tail got longer after the explosion. I definitely didn’t hear anything though. I would love to know if anyone else saw it or it was picked up on camera.

It broke in to pieces and I watched some fall down and disappear. The main bit kept going for about a second.
