I am a retired fine artist. I see details that most people ignore. I only saw one other report that described anything like what I saw. The awe of the experience and the colors were right. I didn't look at the time. You wanted one so I picked a time close to the other sitings. Was there a don't know place to check?

It just appeared low and huge. And I mean much bigger than anything I've ever seen in the sky. It was falling when I first saw it so maybe I didn't actually see the initial explosion. It was a teardrop shape. I only saw it for a second. It went behind trees. I watched to see if a fire might start when it hit. It was that big and bright.
