I was sitting on my mom's northern back porch when i noticed as soon as it appeared like a meteor or shooting star. {that descended starting from the northwest at about 10:00 or 11:00 direction wise} it was real bright white light with the biggest and longest most colorful trail of fire from entering earth's atmosphere i have ever seen! it came dangerously close to the ground and seemed to be very large when all of a sudden it exploded in the air with the most beautiful and colorful explosion that threw pieces of it in all directions with every piece that was a different color than the other! but what i thought was crazy was that it made no sound that i heard at all! my immediate thought or feeling was is that this is going to be bad or even a global killer type of asteroid! i was literally in fear for my life and my family's as well, including every body in the immediate area too! i never reported it or recorded the time and date and i don't remember when that happened exactly, but i wish i would've so somebody to go out there and possibly find and recover some of the pieces that exploded off of it i am about 99% sure that if you looked hard enough in that direction, you would be able to recover some of the pieces off of it that hit the ground! i seen some of the colorful pieces fall straight all the way to the ground! and now i feel stupid for not ever doing anything about it! but now that i am a member of mufon, which i am very excited about! i will not let something like that happen again and not just record the date and times but get out there maybe with some kind of radiation detector or something and recover some of the pieces that survived the explosion and made it's way to the ground! it was a very profound moment, but i guess it could've just been a regular 'ol meteor, but it was the most amazing one i have ever seen! if that's what it was. but it had a very powerful look to it although it made not one sound that i heard, and it happened extremely close to where we were! like maybe a mile give or take away from us! i will never forget it! p.S.Probably just a regular meteor that just didn't make it to the ground!But it was by far the biggest, meanest, most colorful explosion i've ever seen! it was violently scary and graphic!
