Remarks it was so brilliant & bright, streaking down through half of the sky at least, illuminating most of the darkness over the open ocean. this was the most breathtakingly beautiful thing i have ever seen. it was every color of the rainbow but the brightest and most dominant color being a brilliant, bright neon green. i was completely taken back by the size of this fireball too in width, it was like you took a regular shooting star which is usually quite thin and added a hundred more to it, side by side. and the whole thing glowed fiercely and consistently for a few seconds until it burned out. afterwards, i could tell exactly where it had been in the sky because of the thin white trail or streak it left behind! kind of like how an airplane trail real high in the sky looks like at night and that lasted for a couple seconds before fading away. it was a truly magical and incredible experience i feel so lucky to have witnessed! i hope someone else was able to see its beauty too
