Sounds like you saw debris from the recent collision of two satellites that occurred last week. I will be making a thread about it later today given us all some new information. The object was likely to have burned up in the atmosphere 40 to 60 miles high. I am assuming you are from Texas, where there has been reports of this incident. - Meteor Mark DeAnne,

I didn't hear anything hit, and it appeared to flame out before it crossed the horizon line...but I can't find any news about it...and with anything in the sky, it's really hard to tell how far away something is. I'm not finding anything on local or national news about it, but then, I'm not sure where I should be looking. I would think that anything visible in the bright sunlight would be either close or it would be big...any idea where I should be looking for more information? Thanks!
