I was so close to this event that it kind of scared me when I thought about it afterwards because what I would have been the Unlucky fellow to get hit by this object from outer space I believe what I saw this morning was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that not many people get to see as close as I saw this object falling there is no doubt in my mind that it was a meteor I heard The Break-Up and it was probably I estimate 200 feet from where I was at I even tried to estimate the trajectory and went looking for The Rock hoping that maybe I would be lucky and find a meteor from outer space I just keep thinking somewhere very close to my house there is a very precious Rock laying there waiting to be found from outer space and wish I could find it I'm leaving to go back out in a little while and look for it if you guys could give me any advice in locating I would gladly accept it thank you To Who It May Concern I hope you have a wonderful day
