| Remarks | The event was very similar in appearance to a typical "shooting star" incedent, however it was much larger, brighter, & seemed much, much closer to earth. The fireball portion was about the same size as the full moon on a low horizon during autumn. The "tail" was quite broad & lengthy, but the main ball of light shot sparkling bursts in all directions;front, rear, top, bottom. |
