It caught my eye from my window inside. I looked thinking it was a plane in the sky. It looked way too big that now I jump out of bed to focus my eyes and get a better look. A second later it’s gone. All I got, was it was fragmented a lot.

It wasn’t a full ball of light — it was more fragmented and glimmering, almost like a flickering starburst (it looked quite big, but I’m not sure.
