it stated around a glowing white oval in the sky, the star or glowing object in the sky where the meteor fell did not seem like it was a normal star as it looked like it was moving almost. it also could have been the north star. buit it did seem like it was a star I had never seen before. this is what I was observing after the meteor fell.
