The meteor was traveling west to east, incrediable bright light that lit up the night sky. The diameter of the light was about the 1/4 of the size of the moon. My wife and I were sitting in our hot tub and I was sitting facing southeast.( I am always looking up at the night sky and is the most increadible thing I have seen) the light was bright enough that first I thought someone turned on my outdoor lights!

Remarks
Very long lasting and glowing train that lasted almost 30 seconds before it was not visiable anymore. A cloud trail was visable 30 to 45 seconds after the train burned out. The width of the train was wide as well. looked like a concentration of sparks from a campfire that took awhile to burn out. AMAZING!!
