Explosion and then a Giant Star-like object appeared and ascended I was walking back from taking the garbage out and saw what looked like a shooting star. The shooting star/object was moving west away from Washington, DC.. As it was moving west, it exploded into two pieces. It looked like a blue flame that split into two. Half of it went West and the other half moved East and disintegrated. At that moment I thought it was pretty cool that I saw a shooting star, but then thought I never seen a shooting star explode like that. I then proceeded to look up at the sky and about a minute after I saw the explosion, I looked up and saw what looked like a very big star. I would say it was comparable to the size of the North Star. The Star got bigger and then started to ascend upward and disappeared. Now I am an educated man and have seen dozens of shooting stars but never saw a shooting star explode and then see object in the sky move closer to Earth and then ascend upward and out of our atmosphere. Pretty crazy but pretty exciting as well.

Explosion and then a Giant Star-like object appeared and ascended

I was walking back from taking the garbage out and saw what looked like a shooting star. The shooting star/object was moving west away from Washington, DC.. As it was moving west, it exploded into two pieces. It looked like a blue flame that split into two. Half of it went West and the other half moved East and disintegrated.

At that moment I thought it was pretty cool that I saw a shooting star, but then thought I never seen a shooting star explode like that.

I then proceeded to look up at the sky and about a minute after I saw the explosion, I looked up and saw what looked like a very big star. I would say it was comparable to the size of the North Star. The Star got bigger and then started to ascend upward and disappeared.

Now I am an educated man and have seen dozens of shooting stars but never saw a shooting star explode and then see object in the sky move closer to Earth and then ascend upward and out of our atmosphere. Pretty crazy but pretty exciting as well.
