saw and here a shooting star

we were walking north bound when i noticed a shooting star out of the southeastern sky as it went overhead in a northwesterly direction, at a very high rate of speed, it also grew brighter until it finally burst into a firy ball and breaking into smaller peices and just went out. as it flew past us we felt it was in our atmosphere because we could here it pass us, like a burnning arrow shot in front of our faces. the sound was a steady push of air with no delay between sight and sound. this was the brightest and appered to be the closest shooting star i have ever seen.
