I've observed meteor showers and meteors in the past. I've never seen any electrical arcing around an object nor an object so large in the sky. Appeared to be about the size of an orange from my viewing angle. Saw other tiny shooting star-like meteors hours later that night. Sky very dark and clear visibility in area (10 miles) with no wind reported. So large, expected to see reports about it everywhere. Observed from inside my car headed east between Coweta and Wagoner on way to Lake Ft Gibson. Object disappeared at horizon with electrical explosion somewhere in the direction of Rocky Point. Went to investigate and park was closed off. Might check with Army Corp of Engineers. They manage the Lake Ft Gibson park.
