it was so much larger and brighter than a normal shooting star that it actually scared me and made me jump when it appeared. me and my sister just saw a shooting star last month and we saw the fireball together and we both agree that it was much larger than the shooting star.

it was like it had tiny pieces of it falling away from it but it was much less noticeable than the actual ball because it was so large and bright
