This was first of its kind for me, thought it was a firework at first but the way it came in and had the what looked like a giant fireball trail tail type thing was the brightest most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I've seen shooting stars but this was so much different. I've never seen one as close as it seemed and so bright and the how long it I was able to witness it all of it was a first for me
