This was not like anything I have ever seen. It was a huge object on fire! The meteor showers I've seen before have been small objects in the distance. This was close and too large I feel to be even a large airline plane. I hope I find other reports so I can figure out what this was! Please let me know if you know what it is. Thanks.
