Bright shooting star shot across sky then froze just above Malibu Hills
Was driving westbound on the 101 through Agoura Hills and saw what appeared to be an enormous shooting star coming downward, due west, toward Ventura. Instead of fading away like every other shooting star I've ever seen, it jumped across the sky, seemingly several miles in less than a second, southwest, then froze somewhere just above the Santa Monica Mountains. I've never seen anything accelerate, cover that much distance, and then come to a halt so fast. It defied logic.
I kept my eye on it for about two more minutes and exited the freeway at Kanan Road. It looked like a really bright star. It was moving ever-so-slightly over what looked like the middle of the Malibu Hills, maybe near Sandstone Peak, then disappeared behind them.
