Answer:

d - Meteor: A streak of light made when an object burns up as it enters earth’s atmosphere

Explanation:

The best description of what Jackson saw is a meteor which is a streak of light made when an object burns up as it enters earth's atmosphere.

A meteor is made up of rocky and sometime iron mass. They are believed to have formed since the early formation of the earth.

These objects moves with very high velocity in the solar system.
When they enter the earth's atmosphere, they are burnt up and they leave a streak of light in the atmosphere.
This is what is seen as a shooting star
