Remarksfirst time ever seeing anything like this, at first I thought it was a plane crashing till it broke into pieces and could see them falling from right to left then just fizzled out. It was breath taking and beautiful! I will remember it my entire life. I was extremely lucky to be in the perfect viewing spot for it!!!
