Impossible. Galaxies are millions of light-years away (one LY = 5.9 TRILLION miles). Meteors are caused by tiny sand-size particles shooting through our atmosphere. Most of them are debris from passing comets. When Earth passes through the stream of debris, 'shooting stars' appear.
Anyway, glad you eventually did respond. Don't really blame you after some of the comments. And welcome aboard Starship FR!
The first thing that came up when I searched fireball in the sky 4/7/09,was The Colliding Spiral Galaxies of Arp 274
Credit: NASA, ESA, M. Livio (STScI) and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA): it has pictures on the astronomy pics of the day part of this FR site. I was just wondering would that occurance cause what I saw. Thanks for the Welcome, just wondering when I will get to make contact with the green men.:)
