Have observed meteor shower in the past and seen "shooting stars" high up and far away. This was something I've never experienced before...much more dynamic, bright and close and it appeared to have a sonic component. We just happened to be vacationing on Maui and went out to do a little star gazing on a night just before the new moon.
