odd asteroid streak
Looking in SE sky, I observed what appeared to be small asteroid race across sky very bright streak.
Oddly, it appeared to hit something, stop, and sparklike streaks reflected backward.
This all happened in probably a 1/2 second.
I've observed 10 or so light streaks through the years which I assume are pea size asteroids burning up, but never did I see a sudden stop and sparklike streaks reflect backward.
No sound was heard.
There was a plane near this streak but did not seem to have any relation.
