Info from Licensor: "At 9 pm I stepped out with my dog to let her go to the bathroom and looked up and saw what you see in the video. Luckily I had my phone in my hand already and started taking a video almost instantaneously. My first thought was it was some kind of UFO activity which is when I said 'what am I seeing?' but after a second or two, I figured it must have been a meteor that hit the earth's atmosphere. I was so happy to have captured it but also wished I had seen when it first impacted/exploded (I say at the end of the video 'what did I just miss?') after it disappeared behind our neighbor's houses I sent it to my wife and ran inside to talk to her about it. I sent it to a few friends and frantically started googling what it could be. I posted the video to Twitter and within minutes learned that it was a SpaceX thing."
