I haven't seen a MS before but earlier this year while in Afghanistan I saw the most amazing thing ever. Me and two friends had just finished our shift and went back to the cans. We parked our ambulance and started walking to the cans. Directly ahead of us not more than a mile away a meteor passed in front of us. I thought at first it was a rocket but it came from the wrong direction that rockets come from normally. It lasted for approximately four seconds and burned out. This had to be a once in a lifetime event.I've seem many falling stars before but they are very far away, this was right on top of us.

I had the good luck to see one some years ago while driving on a dark freeway. It was indeed spectacular.
