Remarks It looked very much like a fiery tale made u of flaming fragments of the meteor's explosion. It looked chunky. "Fireball" was actually the first word that came to mind, before meteor. It looked like the meteor emoji on Android phones except orange, yellow in color and with a more pronounced dovetail shape
