I was in the hotub with my boyfriend when he saw it and it lasted long enough for me to turn around and see it but then just like that it was gone. We were trying to figure out if it was just a meteor or a fireball. It was very bright with a blueish tail. (I did not remember the color but he said it was blue). So beautiful!
