I saw a meteor shower once that was beautiful. This was not like that. It was actually frightening. I would just like to know what I saw. I think it would be cool to know what other people saw and how big it was. When I realized that it was probably a meteor or a meteorite I never read anything else. Maybe it just burned up but it was massively bright.

I thought honestly it was a missal. I saw it streak across the sky slowly at first then it got brighter and it lit the sky up like early dusk. I was shocked I never read anything bc it was bright and it looked like it was heading directly towards the road or town. I waited for a boom but I never heard anything. It scared me enough I stopped my car. It was around midnight I would guess. I have never seen anything like it. It was incredible. I am guessing at the month bc it has been so long ago but I have wondered about it ever since that night. Also I am not crazy and no I do not think it was an alien.
