Again, it was so close to me I pulled over to see if someone had lit off a firework but knew it couldn't have been because I would have seen the flash above before it fell to the ground. What I saw was the meteor burning up 300ft above the ground with a flash and smoke trail that landed in Loudoun One where the baseball field is being built. That's where any debris would be found.
