Remarks
I was in pickup and it was like a very bright and large spotlight just shone on my windshield. I was pulling out of my drive and tried to figure out what was going on. I live in isolated area with no traffic. It lasted a 3 or 4 seconds then went out and there was a meteorite falling. I saw then end of the major light going out then it was a typical larger size meteorite falling. Saw no fragments.
