It wasn't dark yet. I could still see the blue in the sky and when it appeared it was a huge ball of the brightest white light a huge white ball that shot across the sky that turned from white to red to a bluish green color then the tail had white long trains of white flashing trails that lingered. It was absolutely stunning and marvelous. Quite shocking and made me very excited. Yahoo.
