Remarks |
I just have to elaborate a bit to say that I have seen many meteors, fireballs and comets over the years. This one was a once in a lifetime chance. The most awe-inspiring one I have ever seen. It was dark enough to think this light might be an aircraft approaching with it's light just sneaking through some cloud or fog and illuminating a cone of fog particles/cloud as it came. But the cone-shape stayed the same and moved exactly with the object, behind it, across the sky as I realized there was no cloud cover and dawn was approaching. The cone was large with maybe 90degrees at it's apex and 5/6/7 full moons in diameter. Then the diffuse cone slowed a bit, began to fade, and the object continued, bright as an aircraft approach light. Bright white. The diffuse cone was all white also. There were no other colors. After 10 seconds or so, a second small diffuse cone, with an apex of perhaps 15degrees, formed behind and was slowly left behind and then the object just fragmented into what reminded one of the translucent bio-luminescent head of a jellyfish, from my angle of viewing, Unbelievably spectacular. Dimensions on the order of the full moon plus. This all persisted together, travelling as one. |
