the meteor when it came in looked like it magnetically brought a still star in the sky towards it and they collided, then i saw fragmented peice fly from the collision towards a red ring in the sky which was nothing but pure black on the inside. the ring of fire (what it looked like to me) opened up as the fragmented piece went flying through or towards the ring of fire then the ring of fire closed back around the fragmented piece then it was gone
