It seemed extremely low and large but I’m assuming since it lit up a second time it was entering our atmosphere. Confusing because that would mean it was far away…and it did not seem that way.

Remarks
It was a bright color when it appeared then it burned even brighter and then disappeared. It also had a small tail but the “diamond” shaped fireball was much greater than the tail.
