I at first thought in my sleepy state that car headlights passed the window which is impossible. The light was shockingly bright white in my bathroom a second later. I've seen a shooting star but have never experienced that kind of bright light and lasting trail.

There was light in my bathroom then it lit up the room so brightly that it took my breath away....lts a small window. I looked out and saw a bright ball then the trail.
