This is the 2nd one I have seen in a years time not far from last years location. Me and 2 kids seen the one Tuesday night while sitting on top of a hill with no obstruction of lights while sitting in their front yard. The fireball was so bright and the tail was very long. It seemed like it lasted for so long and it lit up the night sky. It was truly a beautiful site to see. It took mine and the kids breath away. Neither one of them have seen a shooting star before which made this experience even more spectacular.
