Observer
Name H. d
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The bal entered the sky. Then the rather long tail got brighter and changed color. Then the ball and tail glow very bright, almost bright white and then it dimmed very quick to zero. It took about 5 sec. to fly and die from West to East. It was amazing. It was not a falling star. This ball flew in comparison very slow. Great sight!!!
