I wonder what a meteor coming almost straight at you as it burns up would look like.

I’ve seen many this year. Little pops of light instead of the meteor trails.

“I wonder what a meteor coming almost straight at you as it burns up would look like.”

Been there, done that.
It cast a shadow, that’s why I looked up. It was very bright, brightest thing I’ve seen in the heavens besides the Sun and Moon. After a few seconds I could see that is was moving laterally just a little bit, then it blew and there were two meteors, one moving slowly the other smaller piece moving faster in the opposite direction. Then they both blew. I heard a couple reports ten or twenty seconds later. I then ran in circles looking for someone to tell. There was no one.

It looks like a bright spot then fades. I have seen this naked-eye and through a telescope. Very pretty actually.
