I saw it happen sometime between 2:20 am to 2:40 am. I tried searching up news report about it but I don’t see anything. I have taken astronomy classes and observed many shooting stars and it was so bright in the night sky. I lost sight of it because it lasted all way behind the view of my neighborhood houses.
