Came out of nowhere have light pollution on my street. Startled me at first before realizing what was happening. Wasn't big it was so close I heard and seen the flame. My first meteorite with a blue flame streek like a train going by before breaking off to pieces and landing around the block . Really amazing experiencing a natural occurrence and really made my day
