I always look at the stars. Have seen normal meteor showers never any true light up the sky streaking ones. In the past year this is the second I've seen. This one lite up the sky like daytime but pure white with a beautiful glowing trail. It was as bright as lightning. The first one I saw some months ago was also in Orange CT but a few miles away from this one and it was green.
