I watch for meteors on those odd occasions when it's clear witch is seldom to never. But I was lucky Saturday to see a hand full. Tonight what I saw was different. Almost like fireworks. Amazing it's the first time seeing something I assume landed on earth.

It's currently overcast and was then. It looked kind of like fireworks. Like a sparkler on 4th of July not so intense but kind of like that with smaller pieces breaking off
