It was BEAUTIFUL! We both just stood there in awe. The trail and the 3 pieces that broke off were a first to both of us!

First one piece fell off, then the second then the third. The meteor kept going until about 12:00 (we we're facing N, NE) when we couldn't see it any longer. Heading to northern MN or WI.
