I could see it burning bright and light yellow and the bright long orange tail. Visiting with a friend but I believe there was a sound for me to look up as it came over the trees and just kept going until it burned out. I’m not 100 percent sure on the actual time as I left my phone in the car to get into the water. The sun was behind the hills but it was still light out. I’m thinking between 8:15-8:30 ish?
