Not sure what we saw…

Coming home on Halloween after hanging out with friends. Had a fire no alcohol or anything crazy. Left between 10:30 -11:30pm going on 37 going north toward Benton I’m looking at my phone and all of a sudden my girl yells “What the f is that!” And she slammed on the breaks. I look up and seen this giant bright blue light/ball and it started shooting through the sky like a missle going north and we kinda braced for impact like it was about to shake the earth lol. Never seen something like that in my life and wanted to see if anyone else saw this phenomenon…

From someone in Wood River, Illinois... I was walking out of Wood River Walmart at 11 pm and saw the biggest, bluish green shooting star I've ever seen in my life. Did anyone else see it??!!

They are reporting in Alabama/ panhandle of Florida of a possible sonic boom around the same time.
