My granddaughter and I were laying on our backs on the meadow at camp counting satellites and shooting stars. We were hoping to see the predicted northern lights. We were looking straight up when this fireball streaked across the entire visible sky east to west at least 80 degrees height and the size of the full moon in red and yellow with a tail reaching our full vision of about 110 degrees arch. AMAZING
