Letter: wondering if that was a meteor

Pam Capozziello writes:
Thursday night here in Columbia around 9pmCT there was a sky event that resembled a large comet followed by a loud booming noise on the ground towards Greensburg way!

It started off with the falling of a blue star which led to a large bright light that was bright as lightening which was followed by a long fireball tail much like a comet would have... it was mind-blowing!

Have never seen anything like it and have no idea what it was... Am wondering if it was a meteor? Sounded like it definitely hit the ground somewhere. just asking if anyone else in Columbia may have seen this also...my next door neighbor did... Wish I'd had my phone on me to take a picture of it! Was stunning. - Pam
