| Remarks | My wife and I saw multiple colors involved in the tail, it looked like a firework almost without the color burst at the end. Except it went from NW to SE in my viewing range, meaning it started in the sky and was headed down, opposite of a firework. We thought it was a shooting star, but much larger and brighter than any I had ever seen before. |
