This is how 'War of the Worlds' started... and 'Men in Black'... and 'The Blob'... and 'The Thing' and the Stephen King chapter of 'Creepshow'... and how Spider-Man bonded with the Alien symbiote in Spider-Man 3.
I've seen plenty of meteors in my life. In the summertime (the time of year when I'm actually outside and it's not cloudy) I see at least one a night. I've even seen a few fireballs before. But this one takes the cake. And then it eats the cake. Whoa. I mean, that lit up half the sky. I would have liked to be there for that.
It's actually video from two different dashboard cams. But that last one, whooo, I bet he indeed worried that something horrible had happened. And it was his job to go straight for it to see.
