I have observed many meteor showers and have been a star gazer my whole life. This easily was at least 50 times bigger around and brighter than anything I have ever seen! I can’t tell how far it started before seeing it because I saw it out a window. Could even clearly see it as it fell past trees. Amazing. I only wish I was outside to have seen it better.

After the fireball went out of site in the trees of the horizon, about half a second later there was a bright flash like lightning or a bomb in that area.
