I have seen many meteors, including ones that come through atmosphere, but none this large. It was very startling.

Remarks
Object came through clouds so I don\'t know how high it originated. Disappeared through trees so I didn\'t see termination. Entire epsiode lasted about2-3 seconds. It was MUCH bigger than other meteors I have witnessed (such s perseods,etc).
