We watched a battle in space for 5 minutes.
My wife and I were removing the top of our Jeep on the evening of Friday July 1st, 2016. As I was installing the soft top, directly above my head in the middle of the sky, I noticed an explosion from what I can only call a "shooting star" coming from the west. I continued to watch and seen another shooting star from the opposite direction explode in roughly the same point in space. I alerted my wife who watched with me for a few minutes.
As what seemed like a battle in space continued, I knocked on my neighbor's door, he came out and watched the show continue for a few minutes. I attempted to capture video from my cell phone, but the shooting stars and explosions were too dim to capture. You can hear us in amazement as the explosions continued.
After about 5 minutes, the shooting stars and explosions ceased, and I've never seen such an event again. We will routinely go out to observe major meteor events, and have for many years. In my 43 years on Earth, this is the only time I've ever seen or heard of such an event.
