Remarks
Right before it went behind the tree line it seemed to have gotten brighter . I waited for a bang or bomb sound but never heard one but it was large enough and bright enough to make my heart pound....of fear.. it seemed to me to have not of burned up... It was super fast , large as can be and super bright. But not orange bright but white blue like.
