Large meteor shoots low over horizon S to N then hits earth with several explosions (no sound heard) lighting the sky at 7:45 pm 3/12/

This looked like a very large falling star, but it was shooting across the horizon over the treeline approximately a mile or so. It came from the South shooting toward the North. It must have hit earth because there were 3 or 4 blasts of light like an explosion. The whole sky lit up. No sounds were heard. Dogs in the area started barking too.

Probable dramatic meteor at 19:45 hrs. on this date. We have amended the time above to the correct time of the incident. Please see other reports. PD
