It was incredible. It was me and 4 others sitting in a dark field. The ground lit up blue. We thought someone was coming back into the field with some lights on. But it was the meteor giving off light. It was huge. You could hear it. It sounded like an airplane. Burning orange and yellow. Slight fragmentation but seemed to remain whole. It was heading due north towards Brookhaven MS. I’ve never seen anything like it.
