Remarks
It looked like a big shooting star. The entire sky lite up. We thought we were getting pulled over while driving. Could have sworn it landed in the yard right there. It was only 50 feet from me. And looked like it landed in the front yard of this home. It was like daylight for 10 seconds. It looked about 15-20 feet off of the ground.
