Reports Report 1865a (Event 1865-2014)

Observer
Name Maddison T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Please feel free to contact me. I did not give my personal address, and I was in my back yard. The address I gave is a high school about two blocks south of my house. My sister in law saw a shooting star, and then I was watching the sky and in seconds I had perfect view of it. It was awesome. The tail looked like a flame. I was facing north, my sister in law was facing west. It was quite interesting though because the very end was red, went into blue, then white, and the fireball itself was white. Then it flashed bright white. After it flashed it seemed to disappear honestly and left a tail of approximately 4-5 red sparks, and I do not think they were fragments due to the way they faded. My brother and other sister in law were facing east and they saw the neighbors yard light up completely from this bright light, however our yard didn't, probably because of the tree line. Please email me if you have further questions, honestly from the proximity of where it was in the sky, it looked like it could have landed in Wyoming, but I don't have that spacial judgment when it comes to this. It was just very cool and exciting to see tonight! Would love to hear updates if you guys find anything about it.
