Remarks Large tail that burn purple in the middle and green at the end with yellow trailing sparks. Main flash of white came from front of meteorite, lit up my patio thought it was a spot light from helicopter but heard no sound... that's when I looked up and saw the streak in the sky. Lit up the ground and back yard. Really bright.
