Mark and I just saw a BRIGHT meteorite/ shooting star fall from the sky and burn up close to the ground (maybe 100 feet from the highway or less). The light lasted about three seconds and looked to be about the size of a baseball. I told Mark this was the first time I had ever seen a meteorite/shooting star. He said that he had plenty of meteorites, but this was the closest, brightest, and longest burning one he has ever seen.
