I have seen other smaller shooting stars before but this was the largest I have ever seen. It lit the ground and buildings with the same light as early dawn and lasted for approx. 20 sec , my observation point was more directly under it and it approached from southeast to north west where it burned up almost directly over me.I did not see it descend to the ground it looked as though it broke up over me. I also saw two other much smaller shooting stars within about 1/2 hours time. moving in the same direction but at a much lower angle in the sky.
