I live in a sailboat and watch the night sky regularly. I was on watch while sailing from Cartagena Columbia to the Dominican Republic. I see shooting stars all of the time. This is the brightest I've seen. The previous bright meteorite I spotted was the one the showered the suburbs of Chicago with debris about 10-15? Years ago. I saw that from 300 miles away.
