One day completely out of the blue my daughter (8) started telling me she wanted to look out the window to see shooting stars. I told her its very rare to see any shooting stars where we live (Yonkers, NY.)

She was really adamant that we should look and try to see one anyway, so I walk with her over to our living room window and look out with her. I swear not 10 seconds had passed before a meteor went streaking by, closer than any I had ever seen. You could see the trail it left in the sky and it glowed bright red.

She got so excited and ran to tell my wife that she saw one. My wife does not believe that me or my daughter saw a meteor that quickly, I swear on my life it happened.
