Strange night sky phenomenon

Rhodes · 09-20-09, 07:44 AM

Last night I, my girlfriend, my good friend (and subsimer, even if now he doesn't hang around much) and his girlfriend were returning to our town after a seeing a show in Coimbra (university city of Portugal). We were on the freeway when I saw flash over the horizon, in the sky, like a lighting, and though and said that a thunder storm is over our town or over sea.
Then I look out the window car and I can see the sky full of stars and there were no thunder storm weather characteristics! But then our girlfriends (who were in front) said that what they saw was something doing a white line, falling from the sky (descending trajectory) and exploded (the flash that I saw). First they thought of fire works, but only one and descending.
So we thought of a shooting star.
Is there some internet site where events like meteorites are register or something like this?
