| Remarks | It was a really really bright streaking flash with a yellowish orangish red head and long white, light blueish with slight green tail it looked so close I felt as though I had just witnessed a burning ball of something come speeding through the sky, it looked as though it had just appeared and burst into flames falling to earth with a really long tail leaving a bright tracer that slowly vanished or faded from the sky. tracer lasted about 7 to 10 seconds. I have never seen something so amazingly beautiful in the night sky in my life. With no exaggeration it seemed so big and so close I thought I was going to hear and feel a crash landing. |
