Yes I saw a shooting star 30 min before I was on a walk and saw the smallest shooting star than later on I was picking up my girl friend driving home and saw this bright purple yellow orange fire ball or whatever it was while I was driving. My girlfriend saw it last second as it disappeared behind the building it was so close and big I actually thought there was gonna be an impact right there. This wasn’t like something I saw high up in the sky and just disappeared in the sky I actually lost it behind the buildings. Thought maybe this might of made impact in the ocean somewhere off the coast of the north shore. Or I understand this thing could have been so big it might of looked like it was right there but could have been millions of miles away from the atmosphere. But maybe the different colors I was seeing was because of the chemical exchange cause it was crossing through our atmosphere.
