| Remarks | I have seen this only twice before, but not like this. When I first saw it in the sky, the tail was green. It was pretty slow moving until it reached a point low in the sky when it erupted into flames. The whole sky lit up as bright as a lightning strike. Clear orange ball of flames. Amazing! |

| Remarks | The earth side of this explosion was low in the sky, and sort of behind a big oak tree, so I can\'t say what happened right after. |
