I was reading a book early in the morning. I’m not sure on the exact time, it was between 4 and 4:40 am I think… and I was it over the top of my book, I was freaky.

I was a big bright ball as it entered my vision then it got smaller as it headed south and down towards earth. It was like a big shooting star
