Remarks | It appeared in the Southern Skies as a bright blueish and greenish ball with a long yellow and orange streak. It was the longest, brightest and most amazing "meteor"(if that is what it was) I have ever seen. It appeared in the skies with a small glow, but towards the end of the sighting it appeared brigther as it had exploded and disappeared. Truly amazing. |
