Remarks At the front of the streak, (shooting from my left to right- east to southeast) the light was at its brightest at the front where it was shaped as an oblong ball of bright white light that tapered down behind it into a more narrow line of light with several smaller bursts of white light balls flashing behind it as it quickly arched downward until it went out of sight.
