It must have been close. At first I thought someone's headlights were the light, but it came from the wrong direction and got so bright it was almost scary. I sat up and saw the tail end of the meteor burning and breaking up and then disappearing. I have never seen anything like it. It reminded me of Close Encounters. The sun came up at night. It just didn't sing to me.

Unfortunately until I sat up, I didn't see it. The light lit up my bedroom like daytime. I sat up and saw just the tail end of the flaming part breaking up
