That was the second biggest one I have seen in my 48 years of life. I'm sure it could be heard on entry , but my windows were up in the car. ( The one saw AND heard a couple years ago was about the same size and speed )My daughter was with me in the car and we both saw it together as we came home from dinner. It was a great father and daughter moment... Kinda freaked her out but she calmed down after I explained what we saw.
