Approx. 4 seconds of a bright thick streak of light over the sky & pretty low. Then suddenly the bottom tip explodes a bright white light & you can see bits burst out then in a second nothing at all.. everything was completely gone... an amazing & almost creepy thing to see. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
