At first the light was so bright that I thought it was a full moon breaking through the clouds as they all lit up. Then I saw a long thick streak of a bright light. It was so bright its outshone the moon, and it came down just to the left of the half moon that night. The next day I stood in same spot and used iphone compass to get a reading on the direction it fell. ..231sw. Its direction was from 'above left' down past the left of the moon which was roughly that direction also at the time.
