It reminded me of the recent footage of the Russian meteor. I couldn't believe how close it was and how long it lasted. My radio was loud in my car and I didn't think of turning it down in time to hear any sounds. Really wish my phone hadn't just died, because there seemed to be enough time to capture some video of it.
