About 10 pm, WNW in the sky from central Jersey, moving right to left, split trail, dimming and brightening, biggest one I've ever seen.
Probably visible in Eastern PA also.

Didn’t anyone warn Christie that the blue flame stunt was dangerous?

Disappeared in the air.
I would say “unfortunately” but I do have family not far from DC.
To: heartwood
In CA. I’ve seen meteor showers, but nothing ever exploded like that. Sounds awesome.

Did it land at Grover’s Mill? Came for the War of the Worlds reference, leaving satisfied.

Cool, I saw one good one several years ago, even could see a debris trail falling off of it.
Saw it between 7 to 10 seconds.

Meh... my family wouldn't expect anything but cheers for a meteor headed toward DC.
Ok... Next time, I'll get references from the alien. Close doesn't count.
