Observer
Name Justin P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Very bright initially with a tail of smoke. The brightness lasted 10-15 seconds then the tail took approx 45-60 seconds to dissipate. It was on a downward 45 degree (approx) trajectory. I was laying in bed looking out the window when I saw it. Tried to take a pic with phone but couldn’t get anything.
