It happened so fast. My adult daughter started to ask if I was seeing what she was & I was already looking that way. She saw it before me. Your brain goes so fast! From why is a plane so low to why is it going down to oh, that's a meteor or space debris to wishing we had it on the dashcam! Thanks for this site! It is fun!
