It was incredible. 4 of us were duck hunting in catfish creek Merritt island and we all saw it as we were setting out decoys getting ready for our hunt. It was brilliant. Super bright in my opinion. Very white in the front and the long glow was a bright yellow to orange to reddish orange. It lasted about 15 seconds, long enough for all of us to remark about it to each other. Left to right and low. Was good luck too. We also saw several shooting stars that morning and this was dramatically different. None of us had ever seen anything like it.
