I was looking directly up at the sky looking at the stars when out of nowhere what I thought to be a random shooting star appeared but was larger than the stars I was looking at and as it burned out it changed from white to orange yellow fire color, it was truly amazing to see and it's tail was gone as fast as it appeared it was beautiful. I kept looking up for a bit wondering if there was a meteor shower tonight but after seeing nothing for a few minutes I decided to look it up and that's how I got here.
