| Remarks | Streaked brightly from R to L across sky, angled slightly downward. Fiery orange/yellow, it appeared to break apart with visual fiery debris coming off of it and abruptly burned out in a clear sky directly out from my home. Seeing as how we are on top of a mtn, our deck overlooking a gorges of tall trees....our deck was virtually level with it, sitting just slightly higher than our vantage point. Was beautiful and I'm hoping to know more about it. Thanks :) |
