This was the most amazing phenomenon I have ever seen in the night sky. It lit up my porch like daylight but made no sound until the rumble I heard 20 or so seconds later. It went directly over my head and continued in the direction I was looking - as opposed to side to side of my field of vision. It started as blue/white light then left red glittering sparkles that slowly faded.
