| Remarks | Hard to explain, first time reporting a meteor.... I have seen many over the years, but this one was peculiar in nature. Long train, tip to tail stayed visible for a shocking amount of time. I can\'t recall any colors other than bright white, perhaps it had other colors, it was bright enough to catch my attention while walking my dog and stayed long enough for me to yell and catch others attention whom had enough time to see it as well. |
