i have seen many \"falling stars\". This was by far the biggest, brightest and closest one ever. It was a beautiful green and white glow with a fire train behind it. it seemed to last for 30 seconds but in reality i believe it was only about 5 or so. My 10 year old daughter was speechless as well. It was beautiful.

this was incredibly bright. it was a fire train, orange and long. the fire ball was glowing green and white. it lasted about 5 seconds or so. my daughter and i were in awe just watching as it fell.
