| Remarks | The meteor appeared to slow down and grow larger amd brighter; the “flames” around the main portion of grew brighter, with bright white in the center surrounded by yellow-orange outer portion and trail that literally appeared to be flaming. It grew really bright at very end, but not quite as much as some extreme examples that i’ve seen online. |
