Remarks It was a bright white/light blue ball with darker blue around the ball moving very fast from the top of the sky towards the ground. It lasted about 5 to 10 seconds. Towards the end it turned dark reddish orange and faded out with a tail that looked like a sparkler effect of the same or slightly darker shade of reddish orange.
